Thank you so much for your reply and help!

[quote userid="122502" url="~/f/nordic-q-a/121204/nrf-connect-for-desktop-plugin-folder-path/535287"]The executable of nRF Connect for Desktop supports some command line switches and through two of them, those two directories can also be changed. The switches are --apps-root-dir and --user-data-dir. [/quote]

This method solved my problem. With these commands, I am able to change the directories of the apps and use the cellular monitor app without encountering any errors.

Sorry, just a quick question from R&D . is your actual home folder C:\Users\MuhammetAydoğan\?

Changing those directories is nothing we support.

There is a possibility to do that, but it is clunky and we never test it, so it may break at any time. But if users are adventurous, they can try it:

The executable of nRF Connect for Desktop supports some command line switches and through two of them, those two directories can also be changed. The switches are --apps-root-dir and --user-data-dir.

So, e.g. if you start the executable with

--apps-root-dir D:\nordic\nrf-connect-for-desktop-apps --user-data-dir D:\nordic\nrf-connect-for-desktop-data

nRF Connect for Desktop should (besides temporary files) only write to files in D:\nordic. (If nRF Connect for Desktop updates itself, it of course also needs to write its own program files.)
