Changing default download and storage location for Windows updates

Question

I recently discovered that my C drive is nearly full, while my D drive has much more space. However, even though I've set my default download and storage location to the D drive, my Windows updates still go to the C drive. Is there a way to permanently switch the default location for Windows updates to the D drive? Any advice would be appreciated.

Hello, Yes, you can change the default location for Windows updates to the D drive. Here are the steps to do so:

1. Open the Settings app by pressing the Windows key + I.
2. Click on "Update & Security."
3. Click on "Advanced options."
4. Under "Choose where updates are installed," click on the drop-down menu and select "D:."
5. Check the box that says "New apps will save to:" and select "D:."
6. Close the Settings app. Or I suggest you refer to the solution in this link: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/how-to-change-windows-10-updates-download-location/af61b88d-ec62-4e76-9a61-6f5b8ce4954a?page=1 Hope it helps. Best Regards,
