I gave me aging laptop a Windows 10 Home refresh.
When all said and done, it took a bit to figure out, but one of my folders on one of my externals will not let me edit/etc my files. It is a folder of personal stuff. Spreadsheets, images, videos.
I have images showing permissions of the folder:
https://www.mediafire.com/folder/m7f3ly05vkmaz/perm
I can not seem to remove the permissions to edit my own files again. I had no problems two days ago before doing the refresh.
I can copy files (only tested a few spreadsheets) to another external, even the main drive, and I can edit/delete/etc. However, I can not copy hundreds of gigabytes worth of files to test.
Found another folder under the same external drive that is having the same issues.
Any thoughts?
Thank you.
EDITED - I actually uploaded new images from today in that link. I think the issue is permissions from the root drive, D:, but Windows will not let me modify them to make changes push down to all content on drive to match.
EDIT 2 - I did Method 1 of this page, and I think it has worked. I did it on the root folder of D and testing it out.
