WindowsApps folder says permissions are corrupted and need to be deleted, is this normal or critical?
This is for principle: Users, other principles dont show this message.
After being unable to launch Forza without it crashing, and did everything suggested but nothing worked, I went to WindowsApps folder, right click to permissions and discovered this warning.

NEVER change user permission of Windows apps folder. Bad things happened who tried that. Contact the game developer in Windows Store.

The game dev wont help. All apps work except one, Forza 7. Its been suggested to change permissions, but i saw this corruption warning and thought it may need fixing.

Your post is unclear. Right-click has Properties but not Permissions. What exactly are you doing?

According to your description, I suggest you try the following steps:
- Navigate to the location C:Program Files.
- Right-click on the WindowsApps folder, and select Properties.
- Turn to Security tab and click on Advanced.
- Click on Change and then type Users in Enter the object name to select area.
- Click on OK, then click Apply > OK. You can also add the TrustedInstaller to the users list and check if it takes effect.
However, you might be still not able to access the files. The workaround is to go inside the C:Program FilesWindowsApps, and repeat the same way with the Microsoft.WindowsStore* folders.
