Windows 10: Windows store apps won't install anywhere other than C:

I'm unable to install any apps at all from the Windows store. They all immediately say they can't download and will try again shortly. Through troubleshooting, I've discovered that they'll download without error if I select the C: drive as the location. I have numerous other drives in my system, both internal and external and anything other than C: fails. I've tried logging in and out of the store, rebooting the machine, clearing out the cache, resetting the Store app, and scanning with sfc. Nothing at all has made any difference so far. Windows version is 10.0.17763 Build 17763. All up to date.


Is this a known issue or are there any other troubleshooting steps I could try?

C windows installer folder - Delete?

He can do symbolic link redirection and move the files in it to a different location. *Wink
Better try it out in a virtual of first. Just a suggestion.

Like:
First move everything in c:\windows\installer to d:\installercache
Then delete c:\windows\installer folder
Then type this in command mode as admin
mklink /d c:\windows\installer d:\installercache

Removing those installer files is a bad idea. it might prevent you from updating or uninstalling apps.
