  They are in subfolders of C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming or \Local or \LocalLow.
  Or in the program’s installation path in C:\Program Files or \Program Files(x86).
  Or in a separate directory directly under C:\ Or the settings are handled via Registry keys.
  Or whatever the fuck Microsoft Store apps do.
  Or any combination of the above.
