all apps immediately crash if profile folder is on different drive

I created my profile after changing:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows NT/CurrentVersion/ProfileList/ProfilesDirectory
to "D:\"
therefore my profile is now D:\username.

while everything else works as expected, all metro apps crash immediately after starting (I click, animation: colored fullscreen with logo in the middle, and back to the tile screen again).

I can replicate this every time with contacts, mail, weather, messages, etc.
changing profilesdirectory back to C:\users, removing my profile folder (via extended system settings, not removing the account itself), fixes the problem, but I need my stuff on D:, for small-SSD-reasons.

any ideas?

eventlogs, all apps have the same error. I can't find "Microsoft-Windows-TWinUI/Operational log" though...
