  1. Access denied to some of my folders


    I can't access some of the folders in MY Documents folder that I used to access.

    I am the only user and administrator of this pc, running WIN 10.

    I have tried to change access via Properties as in the article:

    Win10 - access to some important folders denied ...


    but at the final stage I had an error msg:

    Failed to enumerate objects in the container. Access is denied.

    :)

    Destination Folder Access Denied

    Hi,

    There are times that you may run into the issue of being unable to open or access or work with files and folder. The common message that flashes on your computer screen when you try doing so reads: "Access Denied."

    This can occur for one or more of the following reasons:

    • The folder ownership may have changed.
    • You do not have the proper permissions.
    • The file may be encrypted.
    • The file may be in use.
    • The file may be corrupt.
    • The user profile may be corrupt.
    To resolve this issue, the first step is to run CHKDSK. It detects and fix disk corruption. To run CHKDSK, follow these steps:

    • Press Win+X.
    • Select Command Prompt (Admin).
    • In the window that opens enter your CHKDSK command.
    Get back to us to if you need further assistance.
