Hi,

Error 0x80070005 is an 'access denied' error code. It means that games and apps can't be installed due to file access restrictions.

Did you use D:\ drive on a previous PC or previous install of Windows 10?

Games and Apps on Windows 10 Store install to a folder called 'WindowsApps', if this folder already exists on your drive, you won't be able to install games.

Hi

The error "this drive has apps from another device and that it needs to be deleted". is a common access denied error and error code 0x80070005 is a Windows
access denied error code.

It suggests to me that the D:\ drive already has Windows Apps installed from a previous PC or a previous Windows installation.

Have you either performed a fresh Windows 10 install recently or moved a hard drive from another machine into this one that used to have Windows Applications installed to the D:\ drive?

All Windows Apps including games are installed to a hidden protected folder called WindowsApps. The WindowsApps folder on the C: drive will be located in
C:\Program Files\WindowsApps. On other drives on the PC it will be in the root directory of the drive, so for D:\ it will be
D:\WindowsApps

To use your D:\ drive again you'll need to take control of this hidden folder on your D:\ drive, and delete it.Take a look at

this guide.

Remember however, that in your case you need to take permission of the WindowsApps folder on D:\ drive, there is no need to change anything on the WindowsApps folder on C:\ drive. Everything else in the guide is the same.

Happened to me too. Try what this link says and it may get going for you.

Hi,

I did try it. That's why I am here asking about it.

I installed the XBOX Game Pass for PC Games on an external USB Drive.

There is a WindowsApps folder on that drive.

If I click on it, a popup window appears, with a yellow triangle and ! mark.

"You don't currently have permission to access this folder.

Click Continue to permanently get access to this folder. "

If I click on "Continue" and another popup window appears, with a yellow triangle and ! mark.

"You have been denied permission to access this folder."

To gain access to this folder you will need to use the security tab

I stopped there.
