Windows 10 Enterprise 2016
In an attempt to restore a system to a previously 'created restore point' because I had an Audio Driver issue, but it failed (System restore error 0x80070091).
Meantime I fixed my audio card driver problem (reinstall)...
But immediately two irrelevant things are screwed up now:
My dedicated 6TB backup drive won't let anything to be written to or deleted from it for no good reason!
It started to show error: The Recycle Bin on Y:\ is corrupted...
"Do you want to empty the Recycle Bin for this Drive?" I click Yes.
But of course, the system won't let me due to problem number 1.
"You need to provide administrator permission to delete this folder."
This drive is a 6 TB data drive and has been serving with no issues about a year now.
And the drive shows no indication of errors or any weaknesses. S.M.A.R.T. stats are all green.
My other system has no such problems with it.
What I have tried so far
- sfc /scannow: No Problems
- I did the change the owner to 'Everyone' and included the sub-folders.
It scanned the whole drive and seemed like it completed the task without any errors.
- I activated the built-in admin account.
takeown /F Y:\ /R It took, of course, forever to scan the drive.
Results of that scan:
Mostly: "SUCCESS" (including a bunch of Recycle stuff)
Few: "The system cannot find the path specified."
And This"You do not have permissions to read the contents of directory blah..."
"Do you want to replace the directory permissions with permissions granting you full control?
"YES" Scanned twice as much more: "Success in all entries"
Yet nothing has changed! I still don't have any permission for that Drive but reading permission...
Why now?! Why after trying (and failing) to Restore the system?
The second OS that I am building as a workstation has no such problem and the only difference between the one with the problem is that one doesn't have U.A.C.
Any expertise help will be cherished...
