How is it malfunctioning? Please explain.

How much disk space are you talking about? Can you provide some numbers of the drive and your computer specifications?

Lastly, are you working off a saved file or an unsaved file?

[KumarVaibhav]

i have a 250 Gb SSD drive in c and 1TB in D and E.it Is i7  processor with 32gb ram with windows 8.1 x64 

yes i am working with unsaved file often

Ok So, save the workbench file on the D drive, i.e., the wbpj file, close an open or restart the computer even. I am guessing that the %appdata% environment variable is not updated.

As a check see where

%appdata%ansys 

points to when you open that location in a file manager or a command prompt?
