Windows 10: Gave permission to wrong administrator, cant access priorities anymore

I was trying to give access to myself to change the priority of an app but they said access denied and someone told me to change the properties/security permission to administrator. I messed up and gave it to "Administrator Lenovo" instead of my user and now the properties/other options is greyed out for the app and even for google chrome. I can't change it. What do I do?P.S. Something keeps going wrong and it won't let me upload pictures here, really sorry.

Administrator Accounts Can't Change Permissions Anymore

I can access everything on the drive and do all the normal stuff such as creating files and editing them. It's more of an aesthetic change in terms of impact at this point. Perhaps some detail will clarify. When I test set "full control" and, then unchecked it to go back to what I thought was normal permissions, I did so by including the others listed as sub-permissions. Modify, R&E, List folder contents, Read, Write; they all got checked manually.

Somehow, putting the checkmarks exactly the way they were, did not result in the same settings returning to normal.





It's as if there are permissions included in "full control" which are not included in the visible list of permission subsections.

 

no administrator permission

Hi Ryan,

Let us assist you to have an Administrator permission. To start, follow the steps below to enable the Windows Super Administrator Account.

• Type CMD on the search box.
• CMD will appear at top.
• Right click on it, then choose Run as administrator.
• Type this command & hit Enter: Net user administrator /active:yes.
• After you enable the Super Administrator account, log out on your existing account then log into Super Administrator account.
• On the Super Administrator account, you can now create an Administrator account or give Administrator permission on the existing account.

After you created an Administrator account, we suggest that you disable the Super Administrator account by following the same steps and using this command:
Net user administrator /active:no.

Let us know how it goes.

 

Administrator Accounts Can't Change Permissions Anymore

Hey, so...

Permissions for my hard drive had everything checked as allowed (except "Full control", and "special permissions"; the latter I don't have access to change anyway), so; I clicked Full control to see if it gave me special permissions. It didn't, it did however change the icon to one with people in it.





When I tried to change the permissions back, the icon remained, even after restart.
Next I removed full control from Administrators too (wasn't sure if Authenticated had been the one I'd first changed or not).

So now... I can not change the permissions at all

How do I regain permission to change permissions; after that; how do I get the people icon off my drive and the permissions back to normal?
