Windows 10 C# Appdata Path - mrnikbobjeff - Jul 30, 2015

Hey HF,
I updated my System to Windows 10 yesterday, which resulted in several of my own applications not working, which I tracked down to the Path finding tools which c# offers, such as

Code 
Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.UserProfile)

Windows does not return anything for this, thus I wanted to ask if anybody already has found a solution for this.
many thanks

Use

Code 
Environment.ExpandEnvironmentVariables("%USERPROFILE%")

Stick w/ GetFolderPath()

* - pille - Jul 31, 2015

string s = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData);
Console.WriteLine("{0} {1}", "Appdata Path:", s,);
Console.ReadLine();
////
result:
Appdata Path: C:\Users\Jason\AppData\Roaming

Thanks for all this help, it seems to be related to the issue described hereRyuJIT problemsThanks for the help, the functions work as expected but in release mode wrong arguments were passed.

Yea, i saw it a couple days ago, pretty fucked up bug, that's why you want before using new software, especially entire frameworks and OS's.

If you're sure that's it, you can always downgrade to .net 4.5, don't check optimizations, disable RyuJIT or wait for a fix, which won't take long since the bug was already reported couple days ago.

But you already now that... so.

LUlz, one queries registry and one queries environment block. difference is negligible so shut the fuck up

Environment block? LOL.

The difference is DIFFERENT because one uses WinAPI which is reliable, the other one uses Environment variables which can be CHANGED.

Shut the fuck up you fucking idiot, you don't use environment variables if there's a more reliable and consistent way to get them.

This place is a chesspool of fucking moron's like you you piece of shit.
All that crap in one post just to prove what? You're still the same arrogant kid.
