Unable to remove read only property of folders

Hi,

There are many possible reasons why this issue is happening. Let's try to change the security permissions to remove the read-only attribute. Follow the steps below:

• Right-click the folder, then select Properties.
  
• Go to Security tab, then click Advanced.
  
• Click Change to the right of Owner.
  
• Enter Users into the box, then click OK.
  
• Enable the checkbox Replace owner on sub containers and objects, then click
  Apply.
  
• If prompted that You do not have permissions to read, click Yes.
  
• Completely close out of the Advanced Security Settings dialog.
  
• Repeat step 1.
  
• Go to Security tab, then click Edit.
  
• Select Add.
  
• Enter Users into the box and click OK.

Hi Hao. I'm I'm Greg, 10 years awarded Windows MVP, here to help you.

1) Try these fixes for Read Only in Windows 11 and 10 which have the same fixes:

2) If nothing else works then back up your files to try wiping the drive with Dispart Clean Command from bootable Windows media. To create bootable Windows 10 Installation Media (on another PC if necessary) install Media Creation tool and follow the steps toward the bottom of the download page here in the section "Using the tool to create installation media:"

https://www.microsoft.com/en-US/software-downlo...

Insert media, boot it by powering up PC while pressing the BIOS Boot Menu Key for your PC maker given in this chart: https://www.sysnative.com/forums/hardware-tutor...

If the media won't boot you may need to enter BIOS/UEFI Setup (pressing key given in chart in link above) to turn off Fast Boot or Fast Startup first.

Choose the boot device as a UEFI device if offered, then on second screen choose Repair Your Computer, then Advanced Troubleshoot Options to access the Command Prompt and run Clean command as shown here:

Then follow the gold standard Clean Install in this link which compiles the best possible Install of Windows which will stay that way as long as you stick with the tools and methods given, has zero reported problems, and is better than any amount of money could buy: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wiki...

Feel free to ask back any questions. Please report back results for all steps given so I know what else to suggest if necessary.
