    windows store installing games to 2 drives


    Hi there, I have changed where to store games and apps in storage settings to an external drive, when installing apps from the windows store they are downloading to 2 drives.... the C drive and also the specified external drive.

    for example I have just downloaded forza horizon 4 and it is in a windows apps folder in both my C drive and in a windows apps folder in the external drive.

    how do I stop them installing to the C drive?


    thanks in advance.

    :)

  3. Install Microsoft Store Game In Specific Folder

    Hi,

    I understand that you want to organize your Windows 10 storage location. However, the feature you're looking for is currently not possible. We suggest sending feedback to Microsoft using Feedback Hub app. You can visit this
    article to know more details about it.

    Moreover, you could always choose a preferred location from the Store settings, or move installed content to a different drive. In case you have the OS installed on an SSD and have a dedicated drive for games, the feature will make it more convenient to
    download games to a dedicated drive before initiating the download.

    You can follow the steps below on how to install Windows Store apps on a separate drive:

    • Open Settings.
    • Click on System.
    • Click on Storage.
    • Under "Save locations," and on "New apps will save to," select the new drive location.

    Once you completed the steps, new apps you download from the Windows Store will now install automatically in the new location.

    If you need further assistance, don't hesitate to get back to us.
