Cant get windows store apps to install on the right drive

Ok, I did it twice, and it didn't work.

Step 3: Right-click on WSReset and then click Run as administrator option. -> I could not run it as administrator, as right click was not doing anything.

In addition, I also tried to install an app from windows store (scanner app) and it was installed on C: drive despite configured to be installed on D: drive.

Yes when i move the game installed to another drive i get the error 0x80070005 and another drive gets error 0x80070539 when trying to cleanout apps as of course 2 days ago i had to reset the OS to get the windows store to sign me in while for some reason the store didn't recognize i already had installed windows apps on the drives already

That's strange. I'll see if I can find some issues of this happening with other Windows Store apps and get back to you on what I can find.

I am curious if you have another drive? Or even an external drive? I am curious if you set it to install on a different drive if you see the same issues? This might help identify if it's a Windows, Windows Store, or possibly Profile issue.

Windows Central has a pretty good guide on how to install apps to a different drive in Windows here.

good evening

You can try the following steps to install Sea of Thieves on a different drive:

Create a symbolic link (also known as a "junctions") between the folder where Windows Store installs apps on the C drive, and a folder on the D drive. This tricks the Windows Store into thinking the app is installed on the C drive, when it's actually on the D drive.

Uninstall Sea of Thieves from the Windows Store, if it's already installed.

Open an elevated Command Prompt window (right-click the Start button and select "Command Prompt (Admin)").

Run the following command to create a symbolic link:

mklink /J "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.SeaOfThieves_1.0.29.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe" "D:\SeaOfThieves"

Close the Command Prompt window and open the Windows Store app.

Reinstall Sea of Thieves and it should install to the D drive, using the symbolic link created in step 4.

This should resolve your issue and allow you to install Sea of Thieves on the D drive.

In Windows 10, you can now select where your new Windows apps from the Store will install and save data to by default instead of on the Windows drive.

You can select to install new Windows apps to any internal or external drive, including SD cards, USB drives, and USB flash drives. You cannot use mapped network drives, and you can only use one location at a time to save apps to. The drives will not need to
be formatted to be able to use them to install and store Windows apps.

Windows 10 will only install new apps to the currently selected location.
Existing apps do not get moved to the new location. If you wanted your existing apps installed to the new location as well, then you could uninstall the apps you want, and install them again to have them installed to the new location. You can
lose the existing data for the app by doing this though.

Follow the steps to change the location of the apps.

1. Open the Settings app, and click/tap on the System icon.
2. Click/tap on Storage on the left side. On the right side under
   Save locations, select the drive you want New apps will save to.
3. When finished, you can close Settings.

Note: The default location is
This PC for the Windows C: drive.
