I checked this, and it's as you said.
echo %localappdata% returns C:\Users\<NAME>\AppData\Local
echo %USERPROFILE% returns C:\Users\<NAME>
All this seems ok but I can only get to the Preferences Location by manual navigation. Hovering over the button in Preferences does show the correct path to the location, but actually clicking the button takes me to Desktop in File Explorer.
I noticed that some application icons in the Start Menu have a right-click option of 'Open File Location'. I tried that, and it too lands me on Desktop in Explorer after briefly flashing up another page.
I tried using Windows System File Checker to repair missing or corrupted files, but it found no fault. Sadly, though, it has screwed up OBS and Elgato Streamdeck settings, which I'll have to reconstruct.
So, I'm pretty hacked off with Windows at the moment and wish I'd never noticed the difficulty in getting to the Preferences location.
Unless someone has a real easy killer solution, I'll live with the minor aggravations.
