Wallet.dat file - where is it in Copay, Exodus, Electrum & Jaxx in Windows? I would like to make sure thata I securely encrypt it for protection & to copy it somewhere else for a backup.

Anyone?

dat file in electrum i ever know just this thread, for the spesific location i do not know. just read https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=325364.0

You should just follow the step-by-step from each wallet to backup them. Usually they will give you a seed phrase that can be used to restore your wallet in case of any problem.

Electrum: save your backup seed if you are using a HD wallet or backup the wallet file inside the Electrum folder at %APPDATA%\Electrum\wallets

Copay, Jaxx and Exodus: save your backup seed.

I've already backed up the wallets and saved the back up seed but I would also like to encrypt the wallet again my own way just to be safer from someone trying to steal and hack my wallet.

Electrum - ok, that one is easy to find the wallet file but not sure where to find it for Copay, Jaxx & Exodus.

As I said, for most wallets, you should backup your seed as it's explained in every software and not necessarily copy a file.

Copay: Go to Settings -> Wallets -> Choose your wallet -> More Options -> Export Wallet -> File/Text -> Set up a password -> Download.
Jaxx: Click the Menu icon at the top right -> Tools -> Backup Wallet.
Exodus: Go to the "Backup" screen and just follow the wizard.

that is an old version of Electrum, there is no wallet.dat file anymore. the wallet file is now in a JSON format with the name Default_Wallet and without any file type.

@OP
if you can't simply find the wallet file of each wallet then you need to find the documentation of each wallet and read that.
for example here is for Electrum which tells you where your wallet file is depending on your OS
