How to get access to C:\Program Files\WindowsApps?

As an IT admin, it is important to understand how to access the C:\\Program Files\\WindowsApps folder. This folder is used to store Windows Store applications, and as such, it is not directly visible to the user. In order to access this folder, the user must have administrator privileges and use the appropriate commands.

The first step is to open the command prompt. This can be done by typing “cmd” into the Windows search bar or navigating to the start menu and typing “cmd” into the search bar there. Once the command prompt window is open, the user must type in the command “takeown /f C:\\Program Files\\WindowsApps” and press enter. This command will grant the user ownership of the folder, which is necessary in order to view the contents of the folder.

Once the user has taken ownership of the folder, they must then grant themselves full control of the folder. This can be done by typing in the command “icacls C:\\Program Files\\WindowsApps /grant username:F” and pressing enter. This command will grant the user full control of the folder, allowing them to view the contents of the folder.

Once the user has granted themselves full control of the folder, they can then view the contents of the folder by navigating to the C:\\Program Files\\WindowsApps folder in Windows Explorer. The contents of the folder will be visible and the user can view the various Windows Store applications that are installed on the system.

In order to view the contents of the C:\\Program Files\\WindowsApps folder, the user must have administrator privileges and must use the appropriate commands. By taking ownership of the folder and granting themselves full control of the folder, the user can then view the contents of the folder in Windows Explorer. This is a relatively simple process and can be done quickly and easily by any user with administrator privileges.
