Locating Program Data Folder In Windows 11 Missing FIX [Tutorial]

Windows 11 creates a number of system files and folders to support the running of the operating system. The ProgramData folder is one of those important system folders. It contains all the data for Windows classic and UWP applications. It is hidden by default because it is not meant to be seen by anyone or tampered with. This means that no user should even attempt to rename, move, or delete the ProgramData folder on their computer.
