    I can't download any xbox games to my HDD without getting the error code 0x80070005

    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.

    Game not detected after reinstalling drive

    I tried restarting, but I still had the issue.

    I can't uninstall the game because it doesn't recognize that it is installed in the first place.

    I get error code 0x80070005 when I try and change the install location of new apps, but there are only steps for the Xbox for this code.

    I have administrator privileges.

    I have 350 GB of space available on the drive.

    I tried reinstalling Gaming Services but still get the error when trying to change the location where new apps are saved.

    Error Code 0x80073CF9 when trying to install Halo Wars on PC

    Go to settings>system>storage and click change where the new content is saved, change to the desired drive, save and return to the Microsoft Store app
    Okay, I tried downloading it to 2 different usb drives and they both don't work. Got another error code when trying to do that (0x80070005), which basically is that I don't have permission. I have tried a lot of things to get me to have permission. This game installs fine on my dad's pc but for some reason won't work on mine. I am out of ideas to get this thing to install on my laptop.
