如果您无法更改新的Windows 11/10应用程序的保存位置，并且显示错误消息“我们无法设置您的默认保存位置^{(We couldn’t set your default save location)}”，那么本教程将帮助您解决该问题。虽然这是一个不寻常的错误，但在特定条款不符合所需设置时会出现。

整个错误消息说的是这样的 -

We couldn’t set your default save location.

The operation did not complete successfully. Try again in a bit.

The error code is 0x80070005, in case you need it.

Windows 10 允许用户 将应用程序安装到另一个分区或外部驱动器。但是， 所需的选项有时会变灰^{(required option grays out)}或不起作用。如果Windows 设置^{(Windows Settings)}允许您选择不同的驱动器，但您无法保存更改，这些故障排除提示将对您有所帮助。

我们无法设置您的默认保存位置，错误 0x80070005^{(Error 0x80070005)}

要修复错误 0x80070005，请遵循以下建议：

1. 登录到管理员帐户。
2. 重命名 WindowsApps 文件夹
3. 完全控制WindowsApps文件夹

要了解有关这些步骤的更多信息，请继续阅读。

1]登录^(Log)到管理员^{(Administrator)}帐户

更改应用程序的默认保存位置是管理员的任务。换句话说，需要有管理员帐户才能进行更改。如果您的计算机上有标准^(Standard)用户帐户，则在更改分区时可能会看到此错误消息。

这意味着您必须遵循以下步骤之一 - 您可以 启用内置管理员帐户^{(enable the built-in Administrator account)} 并从中进行更改，或者您可以 将标准用户更改为管理员帐户^{(change a Standard user to an Administrator account)}。如果您不想在计算机上创建新帐户，最好选择上述第二种解决方案。

2]重命名WindowsApps文件夹

每当您安装软件时，无论类别如何，它都会在您的计算机中存储一些文件，无论是从Microsoft Store还是其他第三方站点下载的。 WindowsAppsfolder就是这样一个安装 Windows 应用商店应用程序的文件夹，除非您使用 显示隐藏的文件、文件夹和驱动器选项，否则它是隐藏的。

如果此文件夹存在内部冲突，您将无法更改计算机上的默认保存位置。由于您已经收到此错误消息，因此最好先重命名文件夹并再次尝试相应地更改位置。

为此，请取消隐藏计算机上的所有隐藏文件和文件夹，然后转到 C:Program Files。在这里，您将看到一个名为 WindowsApps的文件夹。

右键单击它，选择 重命名 ^(Rename )选项并输入一个名称，如 WindowsAppsOld。

重命名时可能会显示错误消息。如果你得到You don't current have permission to access this folder，你将不得不遵循下一个解决方案。

3]完全控制WindowsApps^(Get)文件^{(WindowsApps)}夹

如前所述，重命名WindowsApps文件夹时会收到^{(WindowsApps)}拒绝访问^{(Access Denied)}消息。这是因为Windows 10不允许用户访问此文件夹。但是，如果您可以更改权限并获得完全控制权，您将可以从您的管理员帐户访问它。但我们必须声明，从安全角度来看，这并不好。因此，如果您决定这样做，请记住稍后撤消所做的更改。

默认情况下， 完全控制 ^{(Full control )}访问权限仅授予TrustedInstaller。但是，如果您遵循此详细指南，您可以 完全拥有文件和文件夹^{(take full ownership of files and folders)}。之后，您可以更改应用程序的默认保存位置。

您应该知道的其他事项是：

• 如果您尝试选择外部驱动器，请确保它处于工作状态。
• 如果Windows无法识别外部驱动器，则不允许您选择。

希望能帮助到你。

• IPersistFile 保存失败^{(IPersistFile Save failed)}
• 视窗服务^{(Windows Services)}
• Windows 应用商店应用^{(Windows Store apps)}

We couldn't set your default save location, Error 0x80070005

If you cannot change where new Windows 11/10 apps will save, and it is showing an error message saying We couldn’t set your default save location, then this tutorial will help you fix that. Although it is an unusual error, it appears when specific terms do not comply with the required settings.

The entire error message says something like this-

We couldn’t set your default save location.

The operation did not complete successfully. Try again in a bit.

The error code is 0x80070005, in case you need it.

Windows 10 allows users to install apps to another partition or external drive. However, the required option grays out or doesn’t work at times. If Windows Settings lets you select a different drive, but you cannot save the change, these troubleshooting tips will help you.

We couldn’t set your default save location, Error 0x80070005

To fix error 0x80070005, follow these suggestions:

1. Log in to an Administrator account.
2. Rename WindowsApps folder
3. Take full control over the WindowsApps folder

To know more about these steps, keep reading.

1] Log in to an Administrator account

Changing the default save location of apps is a task for administrators. In other words, it is required to have an administrator account to make the change. In case you have a Standard user account on your computer, there is a chance to see this error message while changing the partition.

It implies that you will have to follow one of these steps- you can enable the built-in Administrator account and make the change from it, or you can change a Standard user to an Administrator account. If you do not want to create a new account on your computer, it is better to opt for the second solution as mentioned above.

2] Rename WindowsApps folder

Whenever you install software, irrespective of the category, it stores some files in your computer, whether downloaded from Microsoft Store or other third-party sites. WindowsAppsfolder is such a folder where Windows Store apps are installed, and it is hidden unless you use the Show hidden files, folders, and drives option.

If there is an internal conflict with this folder, you won’t be able to change the default save location on your computer. As you are already getting this error message, it is better to rename the folder first and try again to change the location accordingly.

For that, unhide all hidden files and folders on your computer and go to C:\Program Files. Here you will see a folder named WindowsApps.

Right-click on it, select the Rename option and enter a name like WindowsAppsOld.

It might show an error message while renaming. If you are getting You don’t currently have permission to access this folder, you will have to follow the next solution.

3] Get full control over the WindowsApps folder

As mentioned earlier, you will get an Access Denied message while renaming the WindowsApps folder. It is because Windows 10 doesn’t allow users to access this folder. However, if you can change the permission and get full control, you will access it from your administrator account. But we have to state that this is not good from a security point of view. So in case you decide to do so, do remember to reverse the changes made later on.

By default, Full control access is given to TrustedInstaller only. However, if you follow this detailed guide, you can take full ownership of files and folders. After that, you can change the default save location of apps.

Other things you should know are:

• If you are trying to select an external drive, make sure that it is in working condition.
• If Windows doesn’t recognize the external drive, it won’t allow you to choose.

Hope it helps.
