    I'm unable to access "E:\WindowsApps\"


    I'm unable to access "e:\WindowsApps\" where games are installed from the Xbox application. Why as the device admin am I not allowed to access this location or edit the security settings?It was my understanding that this Microsoft removed this flaw and I should be able to access the location.

    :)

    I'm unable to access "E:\WindowsApps\"

    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.
