Something wrong with appdata folder

Question

After my all desktop files were gone, i copied files from another location ( i dont remember it ) and the files reappeared, but now trying to access appdata folder by typing "%appdata%" in windows doesnt show it, when I try to install programs to appdata, it shows an error ( shown in the image ). The appdata folder is still there, i can use it, but windows doesnt seem to find it.

Answer 1

Its alredy checked and i dont think the problem is that its hidden, it has to do with something i copying files when my desktop files were gone .

Answer 2

Hi Deniz,

Appdata is a hidden folder in the users profile. Changes in your computer might  have changed some settings.

We suggest verifying that "hidden files, folders, and drives" under your folder options is ticked.                                                             

1. Select the Start button, then select Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization.
2. Select Folder Options, then select the View tab.
3. Under Advanced settings, select Show hidden files, folders, and drives, and then select OK.
4. Then, check if the issue still exist.

Let us know how it turned out.
