Deny access to specific users to folders on partitioned drive and external drive on Windows 10 computer

• Since when are you facing the issue?

Added family user the other day (who by the way don't appear in users list when accessing properties for the

folder{s} attempting to deny access}. Can't deny permissions without cutting all out (including me.)

2. Do you receive any error message?

No error message per say, just can't deny access to the folder There will be two users on the computer - me (also

the administrator) and the new family member addition.

3. Did you make any changes prior to the issue?

Added the user who does not appear as a user when accessing properties for folders, but can access the folders.

Sometimes this Windows 10can be a bear. I also have trouble accessing the computer as administrator only.

Can you help. Saw similar question that has not been answered.

 

Access denied to external drive

Thank you for the prompt reply. I spent some time working through the different suggestions you gave and on the linked pages, without success. I stopped short of formatting the drive or reinstalling windows. No other issues I can find.

Controlled Folder Access was not a problem.

Found the access denied issue on 3 different PCs. But no problem accessing an ordinary external flash drive (FAT32).

Running as Admin I can take ownership, apply that to all files and folders and I can also access the directory structure and copy files from DOS, running as admin.

And logged in from another Admin user account still has the same problem.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks.
