Windhawk has created a folder called

"%PROGRAMDATA%" in
"C:\Program Files\Windhawk\Engine\1.5.1"

"C:\Program Files\Windhawk\Engine\1.5.1" folder contains the following files/folders

%PROGRAMDATA%
32
64
engine.ini

engine.ini contents are

[Storage]
Portable=0
AppDataPath=%PROGRAMDATA%\Windhawk\Engine
RegistryKey=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Windhawk\Engine

The "%PROGRAMDATA%" folder contains the following sub folders

Windhawk
Windhawk\Engine
Windhawk\Engine\ModsWritable
Windhawk\Engine\ModsWritable\mod-status

Is this correct?

Shouldn't these files be under C:\ProgramData\Windhawk\Engine?

Thanks for reporting. It's a bug in the current version, which happens when Windhawk injects code into sandboxed processes. It will be fixed in the next version.
