It's very easy to find the installation directory of any app or game on your Windows 11 PC. This article lists some of the best methods for finding out where a program is installed. 🎮

5. Find the Program Installation Location from File Explorer

Accessing a program's installation folder using File Explorer is a somewhat lengthy process, but it always works.

So, if you prefer a more detailed approach to finding a program's installation location, follow these steps:

  • Launch File Explorer on your PC. You can also press Windows + E.
  • Next, open the drive where you installed Windows. This is usually drive C.
  • On the C: drive, navigate to Program Files > Program Files (x86). This is the folder where programs are usually installed.

If you can't find the program, you may have changed the installation location in the setup wizard.

These methods will help you find the installation directory of any app or game on your Windows 11 PC. I hope this article was helpful! Please share it with your friends too. If you have any questions, let us know in the comments below. 😊
