  1. WindowsApp folder hidden and no admin rights


    I ran the powershell command Get -AppXPackage and saw a ton of programs that I am not familiar with and my computer has been activating slow bigtime and denying me access to websites that I know exist. I have no admin rights on my own computer HELP I have AVG Antivirus and Malware - and tried downloading and installing Reimage but as that Reimage program runs it does not finish and locks up and restarts in a continuous loop - I have taken my computer in for an entire reinstallation of the Windows 10 OS and this did not do anything. I am out of options - HELP I have a Spectre HP x360

    :)

    Hidden folders

    I installed `Kane and Lynch` on my PC twice in Program Files(x86) folder but I can`t find them (2 folders with game). But free space on my HDD is lower. So there`re those folders on my hdd. I use option `unhide` hidden folders but still can`t find them. Any suggestions? How can i delete those hidden folders?

    When I run istallation for this game I can see those folders in Program Files(x86) folde.

    I`m using Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit.

    WindowsApp folder hidden and no admin rights

    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.
