  1. Xbox Apps Installing in Wrong Place


    Hello,


    So the way the Xbox app installs games is nothing short of stupidly backwards in any case - but this problem is really infuriating.


    The Xbox app will continuously install games to my C: drive boot drive. Well, that would be fine I guess, if I was allowed to move them.

    Trouble is, I can't. Every time I go to move the apps in settings, I get error code 0x80073d0b. So they won't move.

    So I enter the command prompt, format my D: drive, and try again. What does it do? Create the WindowsApps path in the disk, and then says the same error code.


    So I go back into settings>storage, and I change the installation path to my D: drive. Cool: so I whack a load of games on to download.

    What does the Xbox app do? It continues trying to install them onto my lacking in spaceC: drive. Even with the D: drive specified for app installs.


    Any help with this? It's infuriating made even more so by the fact I can't just enter the windowsapps folder and move the files myself.


    Thank you.

    :)
