Question

So, i don't know if i'm missing something or if it is really wrong. As said here https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl#configuration the config path is %APPDATA%\youtube-dl\config.txt but for some reason this path never worked for me, the correct one, at least for me, is %APPDATA%\Roaming\youtube-dl\config.txt. And is it possible to change the default location of the config file without having to specify a command manually every time? I tried to search for both of these doubts, but I didn't find anything totally related. If there are any, I apologize in advance.

%APPDATA% is .../AppData/Roaming in the first place. You technically can't change something default since it's default and incorporated into binary.
