Windows MongoDB - Installed Compass but can't find Compass within system

For some reason in Windows 10 it is installed into the hidden AppData directory. At least I found first a shortcut 'MongoDB Compass' here:

C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\MongoDB Inc

and then in the properties of it the actual location seems to be

C:\Users\\AppData\Local\MongoDBCompass\MongoDBCompass.exe

I wound up downloading and installing Compass separately. It's available from the Download Center. You can select the version and OS there: Compass Download Options.

The installer lets you choose the destination directory. You can also add a Desktop shortcut in Windows.

Hope that helps!

I had an issue where MongoDB installer wouldn't work at all so I had to choose customize instead of the easy install. The location of the file for Compass should be in:

C:\Users\User_Name\AppData\Local\MongoDBCompassCommunity

as @Jonez said, mine is for the Community edition. Make sure you have your hidden files view enabled. On a side note, I encountered less problems when I used administrative capabilities.
