    I can see "WindowsApps" and "WpSystem (Package)" folders


    Hi,

    I think it's strange.

    In my C: these folders are protected, I cannot go inside them. Also, I know that Microsoft don't want users to go inside the folders related to the Modern App.

    I have many Modern Apps that are located to D:

    Today, I discovered that I have FULL ACCESS to the folder D:\WindowsApps and D:\WpSystem.

    They are in EFS but I can access in every file inside them.

    This is a problem of my OS or this is normality?
    I don't think Microsoft wants an user to touch them so easily (just like the ones in C:\ that user cannot even go inside).

    You might find this tutorial helpful - it relates to changing location for windows apps and gives a link to how to move apps to a new location. Change Save Location for New Apps in Windows 10

    Two important points: you can only have one location at a time to save apps to; and you can't use mapped drives.

    I think its normal for the new location files to be accessible but it will only be by you in your account.

    For me whats matter is that the two folders visible and with efs on them is a NORMAL THING and not an issue.

    thanks
