Windowsapps folder is where all the Modern apps data is stored. If you install any apps from the Windows Store is also stored in the same location. This folder is not provided full permissions so that if anything wrong happens by mistake, you might face issues with the modern apps.
If you still want to take ownership of the folder, you may try to follow these steps:
a. Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap Search.
(If you're using a mouse, point to the upper-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer down, and then click Search.)
b. Enter “CMD” without quotes in the search box, tap or click Apps
c. Touch and hold the Command prompt tile in the search results. Then drag your finger down until the tile is outlined by a solid line. Once it happens release your finger from the screen.
d. Tap or Click Run as administrator.
e. At the command prompt, type “takeown /f <foldername> /r /d y” without quotes and then press ENTER. (Replace <foldername> with the path of the folder).
f. Then, type “icacls <foldername> /grant administrators:F /T” without quotes and hit enter. (Replace <foldername> with the path of the folder).
Using the above mentioned commands, we took the ownership of the folder and then assigned the Administrators group Full Control Permissions for the folder.
