Post Body

Hey guys/gals.

I have my uwp games installed on my D: drive.

I've reinstalled Windows 10 and want to let Windows know that they're there...

I see the option to set new apps install drive in settings. When I click that, it says it'll wipe all existing apps from the drive, which naturally would defeat the purpose.

I believe I tried that previously in a previous reinstall and it didn't work.

How do I get Windows to realize that there are games installed on my D: drive?

I really don't want to have to download gears 4 again (130gb ish).

Thank you
