permission problem

I had a HDD fail me on my laptop and just switched and clean installed (windows 10) onto an SSD today. I am very optimistic about restoring my original HDD. Something happened to the bootloader and I messed with it and kinda made it worse but that's besides the point because I have been able...

Hello, I've been using this computer for past 3 years and lately I've been having some issues with windows viz, default windows apps weren't working (they did work for a week or two after I had done some troubleshooting, but they again stopped working ). Thus I reset my windows while keeping my...

"Disable inheritance" greyed out in advanced security tab. Cannot give myself permissions as a result. I have been trying for a while to delete the WindowsApps folder on a drive I dont need it on, but do not want to format it. I could not delete it because all permissions belonged to System...
