Where Does Windhawk Store Mods and Settings?
Windhawk keeps mods and their settings in ProgramData and per user AppData, manageable from its own UI.
Last updated
Windhawk splits engine from mods. The program lives in Program Files while mod code and settings sit in ProgramData for all users plus per user AppData trees. The in app mod list is the reliable editor; hand editing files underneath it invites version mismatches.
Back up by exporting mod settings from the UI rather than copying folders. Major Windows updates can disable injection until Windhawk itself updates, which looks like lost settings but resolves with the next release. Keep a list of enabled mods elsewhere for rebuilds.
Where Windhawk stores this, by platform
C:\ProgramData\Windhawk
Per user settings under %APPDATA% Windhawk trees. Exact interior may vary by version, check ProgramData and Roaming if this does not match. Prefer UI export over file copies.
Frequently asked questions
Why did Windhawk mods stop working after a Windows update?
System updates change binaries that mods hook into. Update Windhawk itself first, then update individual mods from its list. Settings normally survive once compatible builds land.
How do I back up Windhawk mod settings?
Export settings per mod from the Windhawk UI and store the files with your setup notes. Restoring means reinstalling Windhawk, adding mods fresh, then importing each export.
