Where can i find the gamefiles of a game downloaded from the Microsoft store Windows 10

Hi there,

I have wondered the same for myself, as I wanted to extract audio from FFXV Pocket Edition, but the files are encrypted from what I've seen.

My best advice would be to search on Google/Bing, etc, as I am unsure whether we can advise you on this in the forums.

Best,

Hi,

Windows 10 games whether they are on Microsoft's PC game pass App or Play Anywhere titles, use the standard Windows Universal Platform for installation.  This places all downloads (apps and games) into a hidden Windows folder called 'WindowsApps'.

If your game or app is installed on C:\ drive, the WindowsApps hidden folder will be located within the 'Program Files' folder.  On other drives the folder will be located in the root location of the drive e.g. D:\WindowsApps

Once you've un-hidden the folders and found the WindowsApps folder, you'll next need to take ownership of said folder.  To do this, follow instructions on this website from intowindows.com (not a Microsoft owned website).

This does not require you download or install anything, just follow the instructions in the link.

Hope that helps

Once you've un-hidden the folders and found the WindowsApps folder, you'll next need to take ownership of said folder.  To do this, follow instructions on this website from intowindows.com (not a Microsoft owned website).

Be very careful when performing this.  A mistake could cause serious problems for your PC.

It won't.  You're only taking ownership of one folder, it won't cause serious issues.  It's perfectly safe, I build these things.  I would suggest that it's always good practice to make a backup of any files you try to edit.

The folder needs to be owned by a specific user for installs to work sometimes. Backing up the folder won't necessarily retain permissions (backing up is still a good idea for the content though).
