Will i get Unique id for System folders like program files or x86 using PickSingleFolderAsync in Storage Folders in UWP. If i get Unique Id for folders in different machines that would be helpful.

var picker = new Windows.Storage.Pickers.FolderPicker();
picker.ViewMode = Windows.Storage.Pickers.PickerViewMode.Thumbnail;
picker.SuggestedStartLocation = Windows.Storage.Pickers.PickerLocationId.ComputerFolder;
picker.FileTypeFilter.Add("*");

            Windows.Storage.StorageFolder folder = await picker.PickSingleFolderAsync();

Relative Id will change in machine to machine ..

Universal Windows Platform (UWP)

    Hello,
    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

    I have to say there is not such id for x86 folder and Program files, All available folder id were here for UWP platform. It looks does not contain Program files or x86 folder. If you do want this feature, please go a head post your requirement with windows feed back hub.

    Thank you.
