Adding Office 365 apps to "Working Profile"

I was having such issues with BD hogging all the disk I/O when I fired up my laptop, that it made the laptop pretty much unusable for 20 or 30 minutes. I discovered the profiles in the utilities and was able to add several apps to the work profile like Quicken and FireFox. However, when I tried to add Office 365 Word or Excel, I could not find the apps anywhere. As a retired MCSE, I browsed the registry and found the locations of the Office 365 apps. Seems that they are located in "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\" which is a hidden folder that the laptop administrator (me) does not have access to. The folder owner is "TrustedInstaller" (probably the MS installer app). Any ideas on how to add Excel or Word to BD profile list of apps?

  • Still seems to be an issue in 2024, at least for me. Has this been rectified?
