Force Windows 10 app store to install apps on network drive?

The Settings App In Windows 10 Doesn't Offer Many Options I'm Afraid. There Is Apparently A Way To Route New App Store Installs To Another Drive Through The Windows Registry:

 

1. Open Regedit Through Run (Windows + R Key) And Typing Regedit

2. Navigate To HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Appx

3. Double-Click On "packageRoot" And Edit The Value Data To Your Network Drive.

 

Some Have Reported This Works Others Have Not, But Give It A Go & Let Us Know.

it says "Cannot edit PackageRoot: Error writing the value's new contents." when i change Value Data from "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps" to "S:\Program Files\WindowsApps" which is my network drive letter, do you know what's the problem here?
