Windows 10: AppData keeps reverting to Read Only

I need to change my AppData folder and all it’s contents so that they’re not read only. I’ve made myself administrator and transferred ownership of the folder to myself and activated full control, but every time I uncheck read only and apply it, it gives me a message saying “You will need to provide administrator permission to change these attributes.” with a continue button with the yellow and blue shield and a cancel button.

Folder keeps reverting to read-only

Every time I un-check the "read-only" attribute on a folder it automatically reverts the changes I've made.

I tried taking full control of the folder as the administrator and as users and I've also tried using "attrib -r +s drive:\\" in run but it doesnt seem to work.

How can I change the file to read only and keep it from changing back?
(I'm on windows 10 Home)

I'm ready to act following suggestions (if any) before...going through the restore (please don't misunderstand, I'm not looking forward doing it).

I appreciate in any case your help

Note: This link is also applicable to Windows 10 as well.

I suggest you to perform System Restore on your computer and check if you are able to get back the AppData folder.



System Restore brings a system to an operable condition after a disaster so that it can again accept and process data.



To perform System Restore follow the step provided below.

• Press Windows Key + R Key
• Type rstrui and press Enter.
