Hello I would like to "move" the .Appx installation directory that I install (Windows 10 1809) So I modified this registry key, [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Appx] "PackageRoot" = "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps" But the apps still installs in C:\Program Files\WindowsApps Apps installed from an .appx file It is no longer possible to modify the installation directory ? Thanks
The path is saved to HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Appx\PackageRoot You can easily return it in PowerShell by querying it and expanding the PackageRoot property: Code: Get-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Appx" -Name PackageRoot | Select-Object -ExpandProperty PackageRoot Though I have not manually changed this path myself and have always just used Settings (I also do not keep my apps on my C drive).
Tested with the option Settings > System > Storage > "Change where new content is saved" It works but it installs directly to the root of the selected disk, not the choice of a directory / folder
