Windows 10: Windows cannot find - fails for all installed applications on D drive SSD

When trying to run applications installed on my D drive, I get the message "Windows cannot find <path to application>". I can open the D drive in File Explorer and manually navigate to the path containing the application. Clicking the application in File Explorer produces the same error. This same error is also occurring, for example, when clicking a PDF file on the D Drive. All was working fine on D until I rebooted machine earlier today.


I did run sfc /scannnow as admin and it reports no issues.


Appreciate any help please.

Thanks mate

 

SSD and D Drive

Hi Stewart

This is the best possible setup for a system with a small SSD and large Data HDD, this will also prolong the lifespan of your SSD . . .

1.

Move all your User Library folders to D:

Open Windows File Explorer

In the right hand pane, right click your Documents folder and choose Properties

Select the Location tab

In the Location box, type D:\Documents then click Apply and Ok

When that move completes, do the same for Pictures, Videos and Music

Each time, provide a new folder location, for example, Pictures will go to D:\Pictures

2.

Move the location of all future content downloaded from the Microsoft Store

Open the Settings App (gear icon on your Start Menu)

Go to System - Storage - Change where new content is saved:

Change all options you find there to D

3.

If you are a Steam Gamer

Stop all processes associated with Steam

Move the Steam folder to your D drive manually

Then open the Steam Control Panel and point that to the new location

4.

Please Note: this should ideally be done before you begin installing any software

For 3rd party applications, some will allow you to choose an installation location, for those, create a new Program files folder on your D drive, then for each application, create a new sub-folder of that folder

Other 3rd party applications will not allow you to change the installation location, and there is no safe way to move those to your D drive . . .
