The Win10 store app doesn't remember settings when AppData\Local is moved

Status: Not An Issue
0 Likes

As per subject, the Windows 10 store app doesn't remember the login info and settings across runs if I move my user's AppData\Local directory to another location (in my case, on the 😧 volume).

Yes, I've moved the directory using the officially sanctioned method: by using the "Location" tab in the directory properties; no registry hacks of any kind.

The directory was moved before I installed the Spotify app, I didn't move it after the installation.

 

The Win32 application works with no issues.

Thanks for getting in touch with our Community. 

 

We can confirm that this behaviour is expected if you move your user's AppData\Local directory to another location. Rest assured we'll passed your feedback on to the right folks.

 

Hope you have a nice day!
