Windows 10: iTunes.exe - where is it found?

I installed iTunes on my PC in order to backup my iPhone apps and data. The installation was made from the Microsoft Store.

However, I cannot find where itunes.exe is located on my PC. The Windows Start menu does have an entry for iTunes, which I used for my backup, but does not provide any clue about where the actual executable is located. I need this information in order to create an entry in a toolbar that I use for PC management purposes.

Any ideas where itunes.exe is hiding?

EDIT: I found a couple of links C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\itunes.exe and c:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\AppleInc.iTunes_nzyj5cx40ttqa\iTunes.exe. These however are not the actual exe file, but references to it. Anyway, I'm looking for the iTunes thumbnail, if possible which my toolbar would detect in itunes.exe, if I could find it.

EDIT 2: OK, I answered my own question. It may help others. I found itunes.exe in C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\AppleInc.iTunes_12095.7.41059.0_x64__nzyj5cx40ttqa\itunes.exe.
