Microsoft Store won't change download location

Hello,

I've been trying to download some games onto my laptop using the game pass. I have to put them onto my SD card (D: drive) as my system storage is mostly taken up by the OS. I've gone into settings > Storage > Change where new content is saved, and changed it to my SD card. However, the microsoft store only allows me to select my C: drive as the download location, despite the D: drive being set to default (and subsequently I can't download anything due to a lack of storage)

    I've attempted to do what the second user said in that thread, basically change the default save location back and forth until it shows up in the dropdown menu. However, I am still unable to select my D: drive in the dropdown menu in the microsoft store when trying to install
