I can change the the Owner of a Folder or a File no problem but there is no;
Checkbox "Replace Owner On Subcontainers And Objects"

Here is what I mean...



I discovered that there is an issue about this infamous checkbox appearing and disappearing since 2013 according to this article...

I am already driven mad with all kinds of Microsoft nightmares, this kind of stuff makes me wonder, why I couldn't get to like the Mac?!
 
Solution
You take ownership this way:
  • takeown /f c:\foldername /r
If you also want to delete the folder and all subfolders, then also this:
  • icacls c:\foldername /reset /t
