Cant access menu windows 10 install#
I suspect that, in my case, a clean install would have also fixed the issue, at least for my C drive folders.Īlso, why the hell did i have to waste an entire evening finding this solution? There are many, many threads on the answers.microsoft page that don't have a response from a microsoft engineer. When following the directions above, my user account was assigned to some homegroup (i can't remember exactly what was listed in the Group column), and not Administrator. I suspect that my issue may be linked to my running an old computer (upgraded from XP to win7 to win10), which at one time was on a weird network homegroup used to share files. Obviously, this problem is occurring for many, but not all people who are upgrading. I haven't figured out a similarity among all the users posting this problem. If you are a user having the same issue, there is no way to know if this solution will work for you. I'm a little irritated that i can't find the cause for this issue. Also, I did close One Drive prior to following the above solution (in the lower right notification menu: right click, select exit), as I have read one drive might have something to do with the underlying cause.ĭon't read the following, I'm just going to bitch for a bit. The issue did not persist, so i did not follow the "enable the hidden Admin account" directions.
Regards,įor me (glotblot), setting my group membership to Administrator did the trick.

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.
