Hi,

By default, attachments received at Mail and Calendar App download at

C:\Users\Adam\AppData\Local\Packages\microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\Files\S0\41\Attachments

Please let me know, how to change the default path?

With Regards

    Please follow below steps to change the path.

    Select Start, and then select Run.

    1. In the Open box, type regedit, and then press Enter.
    2. Locate the following subkey in the registry by using Registry Editor:

    3. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then select String Value.
    4. Type DefaultPath, and then press Enter.
    5. Double-click the DefaultPath value.
    6. In the Edit String dialog box, type the path, including the drive letter, to the folder that you want to use for your Outlook saved items in the Value data box, and then select OK.
