I'm using the Cider app I got from the Microsoft Store, running Windows 11.

#

Go in app, settings, advanced and click open cider folder

#

Open file explorer and go to C:/program files and look for something called packages (check program files x86 if it’s not here) once opened open the Cider one then go to app data then roaming then Cider again and it’s there

#

I’m not at my pc rn so explained it the best I could

#

it was in neither of the program files folders, i found the packages folder in the hidden ProgramData folder:

#

these were the only folders in the cider package folder

#

still no Cider in %appdata% though

dim prairie
#

find the one called Cider

#

then you need to find a folder called appdata

#

then roaming or local folder, there will be a folder called cider

#

i dont have Cider installed through MS store rn but it is there, ive done it before

restive yew
#

its the very first folder on here right?

#

can't see any other folder in C:\ProgramData\Packages that says Cider

#

i opened that first folder and then %appdata% but its still not there :/

dim prairie
#

but i see you are opening more folders after that tho?

#

show me this folder

hmm somethings wrong then

#

there should be more files in there

#

u could try reinstalling cider

restive yew
#

ok so i've done that before multiple times

#

but ive been reinstalling from the ms store

#

what i did now is install via the .exe on the github and everything's there

#

there's a /Program Files/Cider and %appdata%/Roaming/Cider now

#

maybe there's comething up with the ms store version?

#

thanks for the help tho!

no, but i had a look just now and there's no Cider folder in here, this is the filepath: C:\Users\johnr\AppData\Local\Packages

#

all of Cider's Program Files and %appdata folders are here but only after using the .exe install method, not when I installed from the ms store

dim prairie
#

microsoft doesnt allow you to access the program directorys easily if u install from their store

#

compared to using the exe where it will show up normally in appdata/roaming/Cider

#

if you installed from github exe then go here C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\Cider

restive yew
#

ah right ok

#

so there's no way to access plugin files if you install from the store?

dim prairie
#

there is ive done it before

#

its how i said to do it but there must of been something wrong with your Cider installation

restive yew
#

ohh ok
