When installing the Fitbit app on Windows Phone 10 you may receive an error. When you click the See Details link, it details that something unexpected happened and provides error code 0x8007000B. The error also instructs that waiting a bit or restarting your device might help. Unfortunately, neither of these recommendations will solve your problem.

The error code is a result of how you have configured your Windows phone to store applications. If your phone has an SD Card and you have configured this as your default location for application installs then this is your problem. The Fitbit app will only install to your phone’s internal storage.

In this article, we explore how to install your FitBit to internal storage. Let’s get started.

A file extension is the string of characters that follows the period in a file name. For example, Finances.xlsx would indicate that the file is formatted in Excel 2007 or later. By default newer versions of Windows hide the extension of known file types. This isn’t a big deal for Excel Workbooks as the file icon is universally known. However, what happens when a file has a fairly generic or lesser-known icon? What happens when two file types possess very similar icons but provide different functions. For example, an OST versus a PST. Hard to guess which one is which by sight alone.

We wouldn’t want to accidentally manipulate the wrong file type. Deleting an OST cache file is no big deal. Accidentally deleting a PST can result in data loss. One possibility is right-clicking and checking the properties of the file. But if you are working with dozens of files it might be easier to display the file extensions in Windows Explorer.

To show file extensions in Windows 10 is a relatively straightforward task. The process is the same with Windows 8.

From Windows Explorer click View.

Select Options >> Change folder and search options.

Click View tab. Deselect Hide extensions for known file types. Click Ok.

You are all set!
