  1. Windows won't let me change install location for apps


    I recently had to wipe my main C: drive due to some trouble i was having with it. Now that it's back up and running, I wanted to reinstall a game that was on my E: drive, which is where most of my games go. On the Xbox app, when I try to download it to the E: drive, it says "This location isn't set up for installing games" So I go to the settings and try to change the location where apps are installed to my E: drive. It says "This drive has apps from another device. To use this drive, the other apps must first be deleted. Do you want to continue?" I click yes, and it says "We couldn't set your default save location." The error code is 0x80070005. Can anyone help me?

    :)
