  1. Device Manager - Windows changes settings without my permission


    I have a major problem with my settings in Device Manager.I have drivers that control the touchpad on my laptop. I have set the "Allow the computer to turn off the device to save power" setting unchecked on all of my touchpad drivers.Windows will randomly enable this setting without my permission. The result is that sometimes when I wake my laptop from Sleep, the touchpad is not working.How do I stop Windows from changing this setting? The change is happening automatically and I want it to stop.Before one of the idiot Microsoft employees or independent advisors jumps on here:- This is a brand

    :)

    how to change folder and file permissions in windows 10

    Hi David,



    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

    • Are you trying to give permission to particular files and folders?
    I suggest you to follow the below step and check if it helps.

    1. Once you choose the file that you want to give permission, right click on it.
    2. Click on properties and go to security tab, check whether any permission have been set.
    3. After you have viewed the permissions that are already set, you can now click on the Advanced Button that is right below the "Permissions for Authenticated Users"
    4. Once you have clicked Advanced, a box like this should appear, the "Permission Entries" box, which shows all the permissions that are set for the users. Now, after you have spotted the user whose permissions you wish to change, click "Change Permissions.
    5. Click on the user you would like to edit, and then click the option that says "Change Permissions" which is right below the box.
    6. Once that is clicked, you are going to get the same box pop up, but this time, you can actually edit the options. You do that by clicking the "Administrators" user again, and this time, you are going to click the "Edit" option.
    Hope this information was helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.
