Cannot create a file when that file already exists error message
I get this message when I try to change windows 10 update download location. The steps I performed were:
1. Stop wuauserv in Task Manager > Services tab.
2. Rename C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution to C:\Windows\OldSoftwareDistribution
3. Create new folder on external harddrive: D:\WindowsUpdateLocation
4. Open command prompt - Run as administrator and type in mklink /j c:\windows\softwaredistribution d:\WindowsUpdateDownload and hit enter.
I get 'Cannot create a file when that file already exists' . What am I doing wrong here? It should say Junction created for C:\Windows\OldSoftwareDistribution <<=>> D:\WindowsUpdateLocation but I get the error message instead.
