Windows 10: Can't change security settings of a file

There is a file I want to change to security settings for so I can add it to my steam library despite it not being a steam game. This is so I can use a controller while playing since it doesn't work without it. I have changed the security settings on the folder the .exe file is in but still can't change it on the file. Is there a way to do it or is it just impossible?

Administrator security settings keep changing

Hi Anthony,

Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community.

I do appreciate your efforts and time.

What error message do you get when you try to save and sync files?

I suggest you to try the steps below and check if it helps.

• Open command prompt and type the commands below (Type it in Search or Press Windows Logo Key+X. Click on Command Prompt admin).

dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

sfc /scannow

powershell

Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers |Where-Object {$_.InstallLocation -like "*SystemApps*"} | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

• Close the Command Prompt window.

Try these steps as well.

• Open the properties of the main user profile folder where the files are located (such as Documents, Pictures, etc).
  
• Go to the Security tab and click Advanced.
• Check the box at the bottom of this window. It is labeled "Replace all child object permissions with inheritable permissions from this object" and then click Ok.
  

Hope this helps in resolving the issue. If the issue persists, do get back to us. We will be happy to assist you.
