    Access to Users/Documents denied


    Hi all,
    Everything was working fine till now, then suddenly I get an error message that access to Users/jain/Documents is denied. I searched a bit online and I ended up unlinking my OneDrive account and enabling the hidden Administrator account to no vail. Its not just Documents folder but Pictures as well. The permissions for the jain folder are okay, I think. Its the permissions of the Documents folder thats messed up. I can do everything with the hidden account, everything is fine there.

    Any help appreciated.

    Thanks

    :)

    Windows 10 Access still denied after trying all the tips found here

    Hi,

    System is Windows 10 Home

    I've tried all the tips I've found here and still get "Access denied" on my files.

    Here's what I've done so far:

    - Try changing the Properties (right click, security , etc ...) => Access denied

    - enabling the local administrator: netuser administrator /active:yes and logging in as such

    open elevated command prompt

    takeown /f C:\users\<username>\Documents\*.* /r /d y => Access denied

    - icacls C:\users\<username>\Documents\*.* /grant adminsitrators:F /t /c /l /q => Access denied

    - control userpasswords2, add group membership Administrators, tried the above again => Access denied

    Anybody an idea what else to try?

    Access to Users/Documents denied

    I think the NTFS permissions of the according folders might be screwed up. Restoring them to their default value might help!

    I have set all the permissions, and it shows that the owner of the folder is me, so the problem might lie that I don't have full Administrator rights, as when I'm using the 'hidden' administrator account, I can access this folder freely.

    I just changed the ownership of the /Documents account, now I'm trying to change the ownership of the Users/jain account. Lets see if that helps.
