    Sorry for the inconvenience you are facing. Did you make any changes prior to the issue? Please try the below methods and check if it helps.

    Method 1: I would suggest you to follow these steps to take the ownership of the drive.


    • Right click on Drive C and click
      Properties.

    • Switch to Security tab, click

      OK.

    • Click Advanced, switch to
      Ownership tab and click
      Edit button.

    • Highlight your user account and click
      Apply, and then click
      OK.
    Method 2: I would suggest you to disable to UAC settings and check.


    • In search type User account control.

    • Select Change User Account Control Settings.

    • Move the slider to Never notify and click
      Ok.
