How to find downloaded themes

I am using downloaded Themes from the Microsoft store for my backgrounds and the problem is that I have to go to Get more help in Personalisation to access those themes.

What I want to know is where are those installed themes stored and can I get to them via the Browse in the Personalisation settings instead of having to open the store each time I want to get a new theme running.

Plus it seems that my preferred mouse size reverts back to the default size each time I change the theme because I do like the extra large size cursor point arrow I would like to keep it as the default for whatever I am doing in Windows 10.

Any help greatly appreciated.

How do you find themes installed on your PC?

Downloaded themes are located here.

C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Themes
or
%localappdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Themes

@ Settings > Personalization > Themes i have so that i can choose from more then one theme in here.

This here should take care of the mouse pointer changing each time you change themes.

Thanks folks but I cannot get Appdata up from the C: drive I can get to user and open my name and no Appdata.

Simply copy
%localappdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Themes
into the address field of file explorer, press 'Enter' and it opens there- no need to do anything about hidden folders.

%localappdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Themes <--- This bypasses the hidden folder :)

winkey + r > run > %localappdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Themes > gets you into that folder right away

Thanks folks that did the trick and I have ticked all the boxes in the View option to see if I can get the Appdata now from the C: drive normally

No didn't work but I did find Themes and Appdata in a search of the User folder so it is just a matter of find ing how to make my machine work as it should.

Ok after a lot of mucking around

%localappdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Themes and opening this AppData is back
