The executable path and game folder is hidden I was not able to open any of the files from the explorer, I was not able to copy them, I was not able to view any of the file contents even though according to the windows permissions I had full control. ![]() When I found the game files I was greeted with a lock symbol on all the files. I thought it would now be simple after that, sadly not. Only then I was able to modify my own permissions to be able to navigate into the folder - even though I am an administrator on my system. In order to be able to navigate to the WindowsApps folder, I had to make myself the owner of the WindowsApps folder and all sub-folders. I checked the ‘view hidden items’ box in folder options to show it. However, once I had the path, I found that I was still not able to get to the executable as the WindowsApps folder was hidden.
