I have followed the steps from this link https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/1519923/changing-default-download-and-storage-location-for but then how do i change back from D: to C:? Please help and thanks in advance

Answer 1

If you used the exact command in that tutorial using mlink with the /j switch, that command just creates a junction between the C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution folder and the D:\WindowsUpdate folder.

To remove that junction between those folders, you just need to run this command (provided this is the exact folder you created the link to).

rmdir D:\WindowsUpdate

This command just deletes the folder on the D drive you created the link to and removes the link.
