Hey Christopher,

Thanks for the quick reply, I tired all of the steps you mentioned, and they all seemed to work as intended, but did not fix the underlying problem. I'm thinking it might be some xbox game apps that didn't and can't seem to be deleted from my HDD before the windows forced reinstall. I'm still getting the 0x80070005 error code when I try to use the change where new content is saved function in the windows settings. all of the other sections can be changed from C: to D: except for the apps. When I try to switch to D: it asks if I want to "Delete other apps?", "This drive has apps from another device. To use this drive, the other apps must fist be deleted. Do you want to continue?" I click Yes, it runs for maybe 20 seconds and says We couldn't set you default save location" with error code "0x80070005". This is the same code that the xbox app gives me so I think the problem lies outside of the app itself.

Error 0x80070005 occurs when you launch a game or app on Xbox One

You see the following error code when you try to launch a game or app on your Xbox One console:

• 0x80070005

This means that there might be a problem with the Xbox Live service, or that there’s an issue with the item you’re trying to launch.

only when i try to download Ark off of xbox app on pc it fail and error code: 0x80070005 and it's only ark.

Hi,

Error code 0x80070005 is an access denied error. Did you take this other drive from a different PC or previous Windows install?
