    Cannot take full control of files inside WindowsApps Folder in Windows 10!


    As the title says really. I have tried to take control of the WindowsApps Folder so I can edit the ini file for Fallout 4 to change the resolution.It appeared to have worked with no errors, but when I open the game folder and then check the security tab in properties it says the owner is the 'Administrators' me. But it doesn't have my actual Admin account name like the WindowsApps Folder now does.I followed this solution: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/took-ownership-but-cannot-make-changes-to/7eed2eb9-2843-414b-805d-2e940a19cfa8?page=2But I didn't do the steps someone

    How to I list folders and files inside the WindowsApps folder WITHOUT taking ownership?

    Hi guys!

    Like the Subject says "How to I list folders and files inside the WindowsApps folder WITHOUT taking ownership?"

    Because every single time I've taken ownership of WindowsApps it breaks something. But I have to get the path to my games installed there.

    Cannot take full control of files inside WindowsApps Folder in Windows 10!

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
