No I'm not trying to share it with anyone. I'm the only user of this PC and despite that I have issues writing to my own drives.Are you trying to share your pc with someone?
Create a new user, non admin
For one, your profile will be inaccessible by default to that user
Secondly, right click anyfolder, properties, security, advanced, disable inheritence, convert all permissions not remove, then remove the user or if as you say you want to fully disable, go into that user security properties in the folder properties, set all access for read and write as deny
Check apply to subfolders
That folder is now "standalone" parent, sub folders etc are under your permissions not the users, both people can still use the machine as normal
Whats the error message? Access denied? Download a takeownership script (registry) and apply it to the entire drive from rootNo I'm not trying to share it with anyone. I'm the only user of this PC and despite that I have issues writing to my own drives.
Yeah that's the error message and the take ownership registry script doesn't work, I already tried it.Whats the error message? Access denied? Download a takeownership script (registry) and apply it to the entire drive from root
You absolutely cannot "remove all permissions" for the entire drive space.I remember doing it somehow or at least to some extent using the Registry Editor in Windows, though I can't remember exactly how, so does someone know how to do it? I'm using Windows 10 in the latest version.
Like I said I cannot access some random locations. I can't write to them, it just says "A required privilege is not held by the client". Trying to change permissions in the security tab to change this results in an "access is denied" message for each file. Using "Take Ownership" also didn't work.You absolutely cannot "remove all permissions" for the entire drive space.
That will absolutely kill your OS. There are different permission level than 'admin'.
Now...what problem are you actually trying to solve?
Like just F: for example, seems to be the biggest location I can't write anything to. It's a hard drive, and local on the PC, not a network location."some random locations "
What locations?
You don't remove permissions, you fix the actual problem.Like just F: for example, seems to be the biggest location I can't write anything to. It's a hard drive, and local on the PC, not a network location.
Well what info do you need then?You don't remove permissions, you fix the actual problem.
And you especially don't remove all permissions on the entire system. And you really really don't delve into RegEdit to do this.
We out here would need a better description of the system to start to diagnose.
OS, motherboard, specific drives and what are on them...as much detail as you can give us.Well what info do you need then?
Windows 10 Home in latest version, X570 Aorus Elite, and the drives are a Aorus PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD as the main drive with the OS, an optical drive, a Seagate ST1000DM003-1CH162 hard drive, and a Seagate ST31000524AS hardrive, with the latter being the F drive I mentioned earlier. All drives report as healthy in CrystalDisk Info.OS, motherboard, specific drives and what are on them...as much detail as you can give us.
Yes it appears to be so, it's the only drive where I've seen this problem so far.So you can do normal operations on all the other drives?
Just the one Seagate is the issue?
