    Permission Entry WindowsApps - Corrupt


    Hi

    Added myself as admin an admin user to have full control of thisfolder in order to be able to view contents for a reason that is is irrelevant to the current problem.

    Stupidly I did not screenshot the list of permissions before making the change which did not see to properly stick with error messages as in screenshots1 and 2.

    Leaving me with an error message on the users entry of corrutoion and to delete and recreate. I ran sfc which reported that it had found some corrupt files and successfully repaired them. But I am left as in screenshots 3 and 4 and canot see how I delete that entry and do not even know if I should replace it were I to be able to delete it.

    If anyone can shed any light, particularly on what the defaut settings would be (shoudl that user entry be there - I think I added it!). And if not how I go abotu deleting it. Presumably once deleted then I coudl recreate it?

    Is this an issue of being signed in as that user, preventing the deletion of that user entry?

    Getting full access to C:\Program Files\WindowsApps

    Hey x509,
    IIRC ... it's not actually a corrupt entry, but a special permission/condition (Exists:WIN://SYSAPPID) for Users(Pc-Name\Users) and shouldn't be removed. If you must change permissions on the WindowsApps folder and/or sub folders/files .... I suggest you get familiar with ICACLS first and save the current WindowsApps Folder / Sub Folders / File permissions to a acl.txt file, so you can restore them in case you break something (which is very likely when messing with permissions)

    ICACLS - iCacls - Modify Access Control List - Windows CMD - SS64.com

    Permission Entry WindowsApps - Corrupt

    WindowsApps folder says permissions are corrupted and need to be deleted, is this normal or critical?

    According to your description, I suggest you try the following steps:

    1. Navigate to the location C:\Program Files.
    2. Right-click on the WindowsApps folder, and select Properties.
    3. Turn to Security tab and click on Advanced.
    4. Click on Change and then type Users in Enter the object name to select area.
    5. Click on OK, then click Apply > OK. You can also add the TrustedInstaller to the users list and check if it takes effect.

    However, you might be still not able to access the files. The workaround is to go inside the C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\, and repeat the same way with the Microsoft.WindowsStore* folders.
