Hi,
I'm the only user on this pc before you read on. Ok so I've not a clue as to how this has happened but anyway, One of my disks doesn't allow me to do anything. I can't launch steam games on it, I can't update steam games, I can't delete files, I can't move files etc. So I decided to look into the permissions bit (see below for screenshots) in my D disk, after comparing with my E disk, it shows different users and disk D will not allow me to edit the permissions for "everyone". I can do anything in my other disks, but not disk D. When I click edit to add users or change permissions, so "everyone" can have full control like in my E folder or at least (DESKTOP-SU59GFR\Administrators) which is me, it will not allow me to edit permissions or edit users. Please help as I need to be able to copy or move some work onto a usb stick!
Thanks!
The first screenshot shows what disk D should be like and what I assume it was until yesterday sometime since this is my other disk, the 2nd screenshot shows whatthe D disk's permissions is like now, and the third shows what happens after clicking the edit button on the D disk - as you can see the permissions for everyone is greyed out so I cannot tick boxes to allow neither can I add or remove as well. It shouldn't even say everyone either.
