Windows 10: Folders within Local Disk C: immediately and perpetually revert to Read Only despite...

I have recently purchased a new PC, the specs are at the bottom of this post. When I view the properties of folders within my Local Disk C:, the folders all show as Read Only. That said, not all the files within those folders appear to have the Read Only status. No matter what I do, I cannot change the Read Only status of those folders. I bring up the properties of a folder, deselect the Read Only option a the bottom of the General tab, click Apply, and close the window. Immediately after this, if I go into the properties of that folder, it has reverted back to Read Only. I think this has be

My C:\ Documents folder is permanently set to read only

Hello, I don't know how long my files have been like this but I noticed that my entire c:\ is set to read only. I've gone through the steps to give myself permission to literally everything, however my Documents are still are read only and when I uncheck
it in Properties it just immediately comes back, despite ensuring I have the right security on the folder. I need help, none of my school work will save now and none of my games either.

 

Folder Reverting to Read Only

I have two drives. My C drive and my D drive. I use my D drive as an external hard drive, but it's internal. My C drive is an SSD and my D drive is an HDD. My SSD is too small, so everything large goes on the HDD. Every folder in my HDD is read-only. I right click the folder and go into properties and take it off read-only and apply the changes, when I go back into properties the folder in question is back on read-only. I have googled this problem multiple times. So all of the basic things that I can try, have been tried. I'll list them below.

Both CMD with Admin Privileges
attrib -r +s drive:\<path>\<foldername>

attrib -r -s drive:\<path>\<foldername>

Example Images: Not my system, the images are examples but I did the aforementioned and still no result.













CMD with Full Admin Privileges

attrib -r "full path of folder\*" /s /d

Powershell: With full Admin Privileges

Get-ChildItem -Path "full path of file with extension" -Recurse -File | % { $_.IsReadOnly=$False }


If there is anything else that I can try to get these folders off Read-Only. Please give me a detailed set of instructions that even a layman like myself can understand. Thanks in advance!
