You can find them by following this procedure: The Windows Registry contains the keys and values for all store apps, including their installed locations. A better way is to look for the installation path from the Windows Registry.

However, it can turn your system at risk. To browser the folder, you might change the owner and the permission under its Advanced Security Settings. You can find the folder by enabling the display of hidden files in File Explorer, but Windows will alert that you do not have permission to access the folder. Windows typically installs conventional programs to C:\Program Files or C:\Program Files (x86), while it stores the store apps in a different folder called WindowsApps under the C:\Program Files directory. So I need to go for the “Look for another app on this PC” and locate where is the program (.exe) file. The app was not found by using neither Windows 10’s Settings page or the “Open With” option from the right-click menu of the files.

Recently, I faced a problem to choose a Windows Store app as the default app for a specific file type.
