    Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    Here is an image of the defaults for User Environment Variables, you will need to change the name of the user folder to suit your PC.

    The default for that PATH variable is to the folder where all your user data for Microsoft Store Apps and Games and pre-installed UWP apps are stored in the WIndowsApps folder.

    Sorry, I was offline.

    If that path variable is not correct, then the pre-installed apps and all Store apps and games will not be able to find your user data for those apps.
