Issue Adding Plugin to `PowerToys` Installed via Microsoft Store

I recently installed the PowerToys app from the Microsoft Store. However, upon attempting to add a plugin to the app's directory (C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\PowerToys\PowerToys Run\Plugins), I encountered the following error:
The plugin functions correctly with the installer version but encounters issues when used with the Microsoft Store app.
Could you provide guidance or a workaround to enable the plugin's functionality with the Microsoft Store version of PowerToys?
Receiving the similar error here, but copied the plugin to the "C:\Program Files\PowerToys\RunPlugins" path. Error just states failed to load plugin:Winget and it'll be disabled.

The reason behind this is that when PowerToys are installed via Winget or the Microsoft Store, they're placed in C:\Program Files\WindowsApps. This presents a common issue for all users regardless of version.
The primary challenge lies in the fact that this location restricts users from accessing or modifying the folder without manual intervention.

Can you check the README's new path/installation instructions and see if they work? I just updated it.

Thank you for the prompt update! I followed the new path/installation instructions provided in the README, and I'm happy to confirm that the plugin is now functioning perfectly with the Microsoft Store version of PowerToys.
