Then as I searched through my previous blog posts I couldn't actually find a post where I listed those steps, so I figured I should list them as a standalone post. Also note that there is a tool named subinacl. There are many reasons you may need to share the same PC with multiple users.
Windows 10 is a powerful and customizable operating system and takes care of all file permissions at system level. This will help you to work safely and protect your files from other users on the same computer. However, you could face different file permission errors in Windows 10 due to various reasons. In most cases, you will see an access denied message or permission error when trying to open the files belong to other users.
You need to have an account with administrative privileges to change the ownership or permission and access these files. In this article, we will explain step-by-step process of how to change file permissions in Windows 10 to access the files and folders.
There are two ways to handle all of the above situations. When you are the owner of the file, simply change the file permission to grant or prevent access of other users. Let us explain both the scenarios in further sections. Remember in both situations you need to have admin access to carry out the required steps. First step to access the file is to get the permission of the specific file by taking its ownership.
When you have taken over the ownership of that specific file, you can easily tweak the permissions and get access. The first and easiest thing to try first is to check if you are logged into the wrong account on your PC. This is a frequent mistake if you have several accounts on your computer.
Here are the steps to take:. User Account Control is a security feature on Windows 10 that will let you know when you are trying to perform an action that needs administrative privileges. This is why disabling User Account Control can help. You may also be running into the error if you are running an application without administrative privileges. In order to fix this, simply run the app as an administrator.
Once you rub the program as an administrator, you should have no issues saving files to your chosen locations.
However, keep in mind that this is not a permanent fix. To make it permanent, you can set the program to always open with administrative privileges. If you are running into the error message when using your web browser, the problem may be fixed if you disable Protected Mode.
If you stop sharing the directory, the problem may get automatically resolved. Certain applications on your PC may not be compatible with Windows You may be able to fix this problem by running the Compatibility Troubleshooter.

Found out what was wrong. Microsoft encourages login with a microsoft account, but even though it says it is part of the administrator group, you don't have those priviledges. You need to create and login using a local account that is also an administrator.
