    Unable to set restriction for local user in Windows 10

    Hi,



    I realized your concern and will assist you to resolve the issue.


    • How did you noticed that user is still able to access the drive?

    • Did you log into the local user account and check the permission?
    I suggest you to follow the steps below to restrict the user.

    • In File Explorer, right click on the drive which you want to restrict.
    • Click Properties.
    • Click the Security tab.
    • Click on Edit to change the permissions.
    • Uncheck all the permission for system.
    • Click OK and make sure the change is applied to all subfolders and files.
