Unable to change folder name

Hi,

It is unusual that the folder name gets changed to "document" automatically during the backup.

I suggest you to try the steps below and check if the issue persists.

1. Create the new folder, right click on it and select "properties".

2. Click "customize".

3. Under "optimize this folder for", select "general items" and also make sure to check the"also apply this template to all subfolder" option and save the changes.

Let us know the result.

 

Windows 10 is changing folder permissions

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

• Are you facing this issue with particular folder or all the folders?
• Did you make any changes prior to this issue?

I suggest you to follow the below steps & checks if the issue persists.

Method: 1

I suggest you to place your computer in clean boot to find if any third party applications conflicting.

Clean boot:

Please follow the link to perform a clean boot:

How to perform a clean boot in Windows - Microsoft Support



Note: After you have finished clean boot, follow these steps to boot to normal startup.

a) Press the ‘Windows + R’ key on the keyboard.

b) In the ‘Run’ windows type ’MSCONFIG’ and click ‘Ok’.

c) On the ‘General’ tab, click the ‘Normal Startup’ option, and then click ‘OK’.

d) When you are prompted to restart the computer, click ‘Restart’



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.



Hope this helps in resolving the issue, if the issue persists do reply us we will be more than happy to assist you.

Thank you.
