Windows – How to find a hidden program in Windows 10

windows 10

I want to access a datafile to retrive data from an app in my computer. The problem is that the location of the app itself is hidden and not visible in explorer. This is an app/program that I use so I know the app is there, somewhere.

Here is what I already tried:

  • View hidden files is checked.
  • Right clicking on the tile will not display option for locating app folder.
  • View location folder in task manager is not enabled.
  • Changing value in super hidden files in registry.

I’m lost…

Best Answer

If you know any folder name, just running a search from the start of the drive might help.

Alternatively, try finding the %appdata% folder. It's a long shot, but it's also hidden and potentially includes what you are looking for.
