Windows 10: "Access Denied" to my own, earlier post to this community, even though I am logged in when...

Hello,I joined this forum on February 9, 2025, and I posted one thread. I would like to revisit that thread because it was very helpful, but when I attempt to access it through the email that I received from this forum about a response to my post, I receive the message "access denied." I am logged into my account, but I still receive this message. Similarly, my profile states that, although I posted one thread, I have no activity. So I am attempting to get an answer with this post:How can I reacquire access to my earlier post?Thank you.

:)

 

Unable to access a folder, it denies permission

Hi,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community. I understand that you have an issue with permission.
I will surely help you to fix this issue.

To understand the issue better, I would need more information from your end.1. Is the issue specific with a particular folder?

2. What is the complete error message?

This issue could have occurred due to these reasons:

• 
  Permission issue.

  Corrupt User Account.

  Damaged files.
  

I suggest you to try the steps under the section Issue 1:

net user administrator /active:no keeps saying access denied.

Hi Rebekah,

It's possible that you're not using an elevated command prompt, causing the Access Denied error. We suggest following these steps to properly disable the built-in administrator account:

• Right-click the Start button.
• Choose Command Prompt (Admin).
• Copy and paste net user Administrator /active:no and press
  Enter. If the command isn't successful, please post a screenshot so that we can study it further.

Let us know if you're able to hide the administrator account after following these steps.
