  1. How to modify files inside WindowsApps folder ?


    Dear forum members,



    The system is a Dutch Windows 10 Pro. That sometimes makes following English procedures more difficult.


    The folder I would like to change stuff in is F:\WindowsApps.

    It is the location where Microsoft Store installed the game Age of Empires DE.


    I have first made myself owner of that folder and then made everyone owner of that folder. How to change ownership of some of the files inside, I don't know. Apparrently I don't have the permission to change permissions.


    I have tried following the advice that seems relevant in the thread social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/ie/en-US/4ff54a55-2fab-4ba9-b6b4-6315579640cc/unable-to-change-permissions-or-take-ownership-of-files-or-directories-as-administrator, except that I haven't tried third party software.


    Can anyone explain how I can do stuff with the files inside that folder or pershaps install the game in a less inconvenient location ?

    :)

    I can't modify game files inside WindowsApps

    Hi Coquie13

    Are you able to get inside the WIndowsApps folder and access the game folder you want to modify or are you stuck changing permissions on the WindowsApps folder?

    I can't modify game files inside WindowsApps

    I am able, I have full control over WindowsApps, I can go to the files I want to modify or delete inside the game folder (Football Manager 2020 in this case) but it doesn't let me.

    How to modify files inside WindowsApps folder ?

    I can't modify game files inside WindowsApps

    I have a game I want to mod, that is found inside WindowsApps. I've taken every step to make sure I own the folder but I can't do the same to all the child folders with the games.

    I own those games, this permissions system it's so infuriating.
