Hi Rúben, This is Ramesh.
Please enclose the variable within double quotes to see if it works.
"%appdata%"
If it does, then open the "C:\Users" folder.
Post a screenshot of the folder.

Hi, i've got this problem a few days ago, but i am just asking now, so, when i press windows + r combination, it opens the run command... But when i write "%Appdata% it doesn't open the File Explorer, but it opens a popup? i guess, saying to choose a program to open "Username", how can i solve that?
By the way, i saw someone report about this issue... and the solution was to choose "File Explorer" and it showed were it was... so that is what i did, and it also showed an error, saying that "It is not possible to associate the program you selected with this type of file. Choose another program." Please help.
