Hi,



Thank you for your reply.

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

You may follow the steps provided below and check if it helps to resolve the issue.

Method 1: Folder permission

• In File Explorer, right click on the documents folder.
• Click Properties.
• Click the Security tab.
• Click on Edit to change the permissions.
• Click the box to allow Home Users full control.
• Click OK and make sure the change is applied to all subfolders and files.

That should fix the problem if not try 2 method

Method 2: Try taking ownership of the folder (and by "the" folder, I mean any one having an issue). If they are all in one folder, use that one. If it's all of them, start with
C:\Users\(your username) and work from there.

To take ownership:

• Right-click the folder and go to Properties
• In Properties, go to Security (tab) > Advanced (button at the bottom) > Owner (tab)
• In the Owner tab, the current owner will be listed. Yours will likely say it's unknown but regardless, if it doesn't say your current username (and if the username is the same, just do it anyway), click Edit (button).
• Under "Change owner to:" select your current account, check the box next to "Replace owner on sub containers and objects" and click OK. Depending on all that's under the folder, this may take a long time.

After you are the current owner, you should be able to change permissions as you need.
