Windows 10: 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.

How to get full access to WindowsApps folder to modify game files?

I made a new WindowsApps folder in D:\ and took over the ownership with "Take ownership context menu" hack from this Article. I'm able to see the files inside but unable to write. I only have one game inside the D:\WindowsApps folder called World of Tanks Blitz so it's not very messy.

I can't even change the permissions of the folder because it says "This access control entry is corrupt. Delete it and create a new one.



All i want to do is write couple of mod files inside it, that's it. I'm able to do that with it's Steam version perfectly fine, you may wonder why i don't use the steam version then? Because i get low FPS and lag in it meanwhile the Windows 10 version works buttery smooth with 60FPS all the time.

 

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.

 

WindowsApps folder says permissions are corrupted and need to be deleted, is this normal or critical?

According to your description, I suggest you try the following steps:

1. Navigate to the location C:\Program Files.
   
2. Right-click on the WindowsApps folder, and select Properties.
   
3. Turn to Security tab and click on Advanced.
   
4. Click on Change and then type Users in Enter the object name to select area.
   
5. Click on OK, then click Apply > OK. You can also add the TrustedInstaller to the users list and check if it takes effect.
   

However, you might be still not able to access the files. The workaround is to go inside the C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\, and repeat the same way with the Microsoft.WindowsStore* folders.
