    What is folder WpSystem / WUDownloadCache / Windows apps?


    Hey!

    Just upgraded to an SSD for my games, reinstalled everything and noticed theses folders?

    I couldn't really find anything online on what they are, I saw something about a Windows phone? But I dont own one.

    I did install a Froza 4 from the Microsoft store and oddly cant find where its downloaded?

    Thanks!

    WPSystem Lockout

    Hi, being the idiot that I am, I moved the folders "WindowsApps", "WUDownloadCache", and "SoftwareDistribution" into my WPSystem folder. Because my WPSystem folder has security measures that don't allow me to access anything inside, I cannot take these
    folders back out. The fact that these folders are in WPSystem has tampered with some of my photos and Windows10 functionality. I'd like to get them back out ASAP. Please help, thanks.

    Can't install Windows Store apps to SD card

    The cache reset did not work. The storage was set to sd card. It appears that 3 folders are created on the SD card for the store, WindowsApps, WpSystem, and WUDownloadCache. What should the permissions be for these folders? I have access denied for WindowsApps.

    Edit: Just for the record, I deleted the WpSystem and WUDownloadCache folders on the SD card and it allowed installation of Store app to the SD card. WindowsApps could not be deleted due to access denied.

    What is folder WpSystem / WUDownloadCache / Windows apps?

    Is deleting the WpSystem Folder Safe?

    from my understanding of me accidently moving the folder, wpsystem is used in conjunction with windows store apps. moving the folder made my apps (halo app and halo 5 forge to be specific) to crash immediately after running. With that bit of information,
    deleting WpSystem is not safe in my opinion.
