How do I find the minecraft windows 10 edition executable file, I have recently got a vpn but a few servers block connections that are using a vpn. Luckily the vpn I'm using has a setting that lets me make it so apps can get bypassed byt the VPN. However I can't find the minecraft directory so can someone please help me? Thank you.

    Hi ArrowJade453

    I am Dave, an Independent Advisor, I will help you with this . . .

    If you are using the Microsoft Store version of Minecraft, then that is installed in its own folder inside C:\Program Files\WindowsApps

    The WIndowsApps folder is the most protected folder on Windows 10 and you will not be able to access that

    Open Task Manager, then choose the Processes Tab

    Right click any Column Header on the Processes Tab and turn on the Command Line Column

    Resize that column very wide

    Start Minecraft, the on the Processes Tab find Minecraft, expand that and you should see the full path to the executable
