    Access Control Entry is Corrupt

    I have the same issue. When I attempt to open WINDOWSAPPS, I receive the message "This access control entry is corrupt. Delete it and create a new one.".

    Could you elaborate on how to "Delete it and create a new one."?

    Access Control Entry is Corrupt

    Jamille,

    I have the exact same problem. Trying to peruse the folder for Candy Crush Soda in the WindowsApps folder I get the message that I need permission, etc. Then, when trying to modify permissions for this folder (so I can read the contents) I get the error
    message "This access control entry is corrupt. Delete it and create a new one." So, at your suggestion, I ran SFC /scannow and got the message: "Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations." I conclude that there is nothing wrong with
    my system except that I cant repair the app named "Candy Crush Soda".

    Any other suggestions?

    Thank you.
