Cannot move store apps to another hard drive (error code 0x80073d0b)

Yesterday I tried moving a store app from my system partition on my laptop to another HDD and got an error (0x80073d0b) message that it didn't work and I should try later. I tried with different apps (no system ones) and different hard drives with the same result. Afterwards I also tried it on my Surface Pro 4 with a micro SD card. No result, same error. Both devices run the latest version of Win 10. Did anyone else notice that behaviour?

Re: Cannot move apps to another hard disk

What app do you want to move?
and the file type? maybe it is incompatible.

Re: Cannot move apps to another hard disk

Any store app I try to move in the apps section of the preferences. I already moved them to another hard drive like a year ago to make some space on my system SSD. What makes me think that it is a general problem is that I get the same error message on two different devices (ASUS G751 and Surface Pro 4). The March 25 cumulative update also didn't change a thing to either of the two machines.

Seems either nobody else tried that for quite some time or nobody else has that problem...
