Hardcoding the user's home directory on Windows breaks when the AppData\Roaming directory is moved. This also can cause issues on non-english systems.

You should pull the %APPDATA% environment variable. Anytime this is used in a domain environemnt with AppData\Roaming moved to a network share, it will break any application that uses it to store information there because it will either be denied access or it will end up on the C drive where it will not successfully roam with the profile.

EDIT: Reading from APPDATA is present in a roundabout way. Why is it not working on Windows 10? Does the OS identifier need to be updated?
