Folder SD\Android\Data cant view on windows

I can not see the folder on windows, I tried all the possible solutions found on the internet.
If I insert the sd on a samsung or a huawei, on windows I normally see the folder.

The only present folder is "media", if I try from the smartphone I see all folders.

Do you choose File Transfer protocol when you connect your phone to the PC?

This SD card actually belongs to the XZ2? And does it have apps installed on it?

Yes, installed when I bought the phone, formatted many times, there are applications installed, the related folders app display only from the smartphone

If I insert the microSD into an adapter from windows I see all the folders.
So it's a phone problem.
I ask the owners, kindly, you tell me if from your smartphone displayed  "data" (SD \ Android \ Data)

As far as I know, you cannot move apps to SD card in your phone...

So, android/data folder should not be present in Sd card but in the internal storage

This is not my problem.
I do not understand why if I connect the phone to the PC I do not see this folder.
If I use other phones or I enter it directly instead I display it

It can be some kind of protection or access control, as if the phone is hiding it to ensure nothing gets deleted or moved. What app are you using to browse for it?
