Can't find Process Explorer after installing it via winget? Do this

First of all, Process Explorer should be located at C:\Program Files\WinGet\Packages\Microsoft.Sysinternals.ProcessExplorer*. If it's not there, that means it wasn't installed in the right context.

To fix this:

Step 1

Uninstall Process Explorer.

Step 2

Reinstall Process Explorer with the Run as admin, Latest, x64, & Local machine options set. You can set these manually in WingetUI or you can run the following command in an elevated PowerShell prompt: winget install --id Microsoft.Sysinternals.ProcessExplorer --exact --accept-source-agreements --architecture x64 --scope machine --disable-interactivity --accept-source-agreements --force

Once that completes, Process Explorer should be available at the path in the 1st paragraph above.
