Windows 10: Can't bulk edit permissions for a folder on a usb drive.

In the root folder of a usb drive I can access all the files, but files in a folder on the drive, I can't. I can adjust the security permissions one file at a time properties > security > add an owner but how do I apply that to the whole folder so the files inherit? I've tried changing the owner under advanced but that does nothing. This shouldn't be that hard....

Hi ejmw,

• Press and hold or right-click the file or folder, and then click Properties.
• Tap or click the Security tab.
• Under Group or user names, tap or click your name to see the permissions that you have.

To change the permissions of a file or folder, follow these steps:

USB Drive Access Permission

Let's try a different approach. Since the updating the driver does not work, see if changing the Security settings on one of the USB drive. Follow the steps below:

• Right-click the USB's drive on File Explorer and select Properties.
• Click the Security tab.
• Select an Owner/User and click Edit.
  
• Check all the options on the Allowed column, select OK and then Apply.

Update us on the result.
