I installed ARK Survival Evolved onto my laptop through Xbox Play Anywhere, the game runs fine, but i can't find the location in the files where the Microsoft Store put it. I've been looking online for it but the only thing i can find is the location for the steam version of the game.

Moved from: Windows / Windows 10 / Files, folders, & storage

Windows for home | Windows 10 | Gaming

    Hi Nicholas,

    The files for the games or apps that you downloaded from the Windows Store will only go directly to a specific folder or location on your storage device. To check where the games are located, you may go to this path: C:\Program Files\WindowsApps.

    To check the configuration files for each that you downloaded from Windows Store, you may go to C:\Users\user name\AppData\Local\Packages.

    Should you have any other queries, you can contact us anytime.

    This is where you can edit the ini files and change the hole aspect of your game. I have 50,000 stacks and changed all the crafting to what I want like tranq drat made with 1 narco and 1 metal ingot! need any thing let me know i have tons of code for that game.

    C:\Users\YOUR USER NAME\AppData\Local\Packages\StudioWildcard.4558480580BB9_1w2mm55455e38\LocalState\Saved\UWPConfig\UWP\

    Dear Microsoft,

    This is BS.  Stop trying to be Apple, you're better than that.

    Let us decide where we want to install our programs and open the files without having to change system permissions.

    Thank you
