Hello,

It is not recommend to change the Windows Store apps install location. This will cause Windows Store apps or the store itself to stop working.

1. press Win+R on the keyboard then type "regedit" and press enter.
2. Go to following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Appx
3. Change the string value PackageRoot to the value: WindowsDriveLetter:\Program Files\WindowsApps (If Windows don't let you change the value, try take ownership of the key and try again.)

4. Reboot your PC and see if you can install apps.

If you cannot install apps, try re-register Windows Store and try again.

If you still can't install apps, refresh your PC may resolve the issue.

System Restore may also help you to restore back to the time before you change the value.

Hello,
If other apps can install and work properly, try uninstall the apps which are broken then reinstall them again.
