The path that the PowerShell commandlet is asking for is the location of the ImmersiveControlPanel AppxManifest.xml file. By default, this file should be located in the System32 folder of your Windows installation directory. Here's how you can find the path:

1. Press Win + R on your keyboard to open the Run dialog box.
2. Type "cmd" and press Ctrl + Shift + Enter to open an elevated Command Prompt.
3. Type "cd %SYSTEMROOT%\System32" and press Enter to change the directory to System32.
4. Type "dir ImmersiveControlPanelAppxManifest.xml /s" and press Enter to search for the file.

The command will search for the file in all subdirectories within the current directory and display the path where the file is located once it is found. Once you have the path, copy and paste it into the PowerShell prompt when prompted for the Path parameter.
