  1. All files set to read only after latest update and keep reverting


    Hello all I have a frustrating problem after the latest update to windows 10. All my files are now set to read only and whenever I try to change them to non read only they automatically revert to read only. I tried changing my permissions to full control but that did not work. I tried uninstalling the update but when I restarted the update was automatically reinstalled. Anyone have any ideas? I'm on windows 10 Home

    :)
