I got done in by the Anniversary Update. It didn't handle certain combinations of SSDs and non-SSDs.

How did not testing the "SSD for OS, mechanical for data" configuration get past QA...

As far as I know the bug didn't hit most systems with a SSD+HDD setup, just ones where certain default paths were changed to point to the second drive (which is frequently done through unsupported registry hacks).

I had Gears of War (from the Windows Store) on my HDD. This should be fully supported since changing the default locations for apps is ... built into Windows.

Thank you for this, explains my issue. I wasn't sure if it was just dual boot or something else.
