Hi,  
from  
[https://www.swi-prolog.org/FAQ/PlInitialisation.html](https://www.swi-prolog.org/FAQ/PlInitialisation.html):  
On Windows it is the directory provided by win\_folder/2 on `local_appdata` .  
These files are available using the file\_search\_path/2 alias `user_app_config`

?- file\_search\_path(user\_app\_config,A).  
A = ‘C:/Users/bw1kang0/AppData/Roaming/swi-prolog’.

?- win\_folder(local\_appdata,F).  
F = ‘C:/Users/bw1kang0/AppData/Local’. ← wrong

It must be appdata instead of local\_appdata:  
?- win\_folder(appdata,A).  
A = ‘C:/Users/bw1kang0/AppData/Roaming’.

Regards
