ERROR: Failed to install UWP Appx Package for logged-off and new users with error C:\adobeTemp\ETR9AC0.tmp\1\Appx\AdobeNotificationClient.appx#@#OS_Error_Code: 0x80070032#@#OS_Error_String: Windows can't provision the package AdobeNotificationClient_7.0.2.14_x64__enpm4xejd91yc because it is not installed on a system volume.

Answer 1

Hello,

That code is HRESULT 0x80070032, which maps to "The request is not supported". In this context it happens because Windows only provisions Store/UWP apps for logged-off and new users when the app is installed on the system volume. Your AdobeNotificationClient is being installed to a non-system drive, so Windows refuses to provision it and throws the message you see.

The simplest fix is to put the Store app location back on the system drive and then reinstall the Adobe notification app so Windows can provision it for all users. Open Settings > System > Storage > Advanced storage settings > "Where new content is saved". Change "New apps will save to" to your Windows drive (typically C:).

If Adobe Notification Client is already listed under Settings > Apps > Installed apps and shows as installed on another drive, uninstall it there. Then run the Adobe installer again. This time Windows should install it on C:\ and the provisioning step for logged-off and new users should succeed.

If you're managing this on many PCs using a deployment script, the same principle applies. Ensure the package ends up on the system volume before you call the provisioning step.

Answer 2

Windows can't provision the package AdobeNotificationClient...

because it is not installed on a system volume.

Error code: 0x80070032

Is the important bit:

1. UWP/APPX packages (like AdobeNotificationClient) must be installed on the system volume (usually C:).
2. If your C: is low on space, or if you’re trying to install from/extract to a non-system drive (like D: or E:), provisioning fails.
3. It often happens when Adobe Creative Cloud tries to install/update its helper apps but your system volume is restricted.

Fixes

1. Free up space on C:

UWP apps need some wiggle room. Free at least 10 GB on C:.

Run:

dism /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup

(you already ran this earlier, but check again).

Also clear C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download.

2. Force install to system volume

Move the installer temp path back to C:.

Adobe uses %temp%. If your temp is on D: or E:, change it:

     Press `Win + R` → type `sysdm.cpl` → Advanced → Environment Variables.
     
           Change `TEMP` and `TMP` for your user and system to:
           
           ```
           C:\Temp
           ```
           
                 Create that folder if it doesn’t exist, reboot, and retry the install.

3. Re-register the package manually

If Creative Cloud left a broken stub:

Open PowerShell (Admin).

Run:

Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers *AdobeNotificationClient* | Remove-AppxPackage -AllUsers

Then reinstall Creative Cloud (it will redeploy the helper).

4. If nothing works

• Install Adobe Creative Cloud on C: only. Moving it to D: or E: breaks the UWP sidecar apps.
• Or, if you absolutely need to keep it off C:, install only the desktop apps and disable the “Adobe Notification Client” in the installer. Fixes

also, is %temp% on c: ?
