I appreciate the effort made towards trying to fix the issue and I will be happy to answer your query. Hi Olivia, Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community. Along with this issue, files already present in these same folders were opening as read only files.
I also was receiving a similar error when trying to save files to certain folders - 'You don't have permission to save this file, contact the administrator to get permission'.
NOTE: You may not have to click in the Deny column after the first scan is completed for step 10 as indicated in step 7. Instead of Administrators (your computer name-PC Administrators). In the first window, click on Users (your computer name-PC\Users) and repeat steps 5-9, of course clicking on Users (your computer name-PC\Users) It should run a scan of the files in the drive. It should check all of the boxes except the last one and uncheck all of the boxes in the Deny column.ĩ. If Apply is grayed-out, check a box in the Deny column. Click on Administrators (your computer name-PC Administrators) again.ħ. In the first window click on Administrators (your computer name-PC Administrators).Ħ. Right-click on the drive that is causing the problem.Ĥ. Here's how I fixed it, copied from ( ) 1. Ran into the same problem with my partners laptop (Going from 7 -> 10 as well)Īre you finding it's just the library folders such as Downloads, Pictures, Music etc it's happening to?
