First I changed the ownership of the Windows apps folder to administrators according to a youtube video to know a file's location , after I knew the file's location I wanted to return the default permissions to keep the files save . I searched about it and I found that I have to change the ownership into trustedinstaller . I followed the instructions and changed the ownership into trustedinstaller successfully , but even after I changed the ownership into trustedinstaller , I can open the Windows apps folder without any difficulties or warnings ,like I didn't change anything.

Changing folder ownership (TrustedInstaller)





Hi,

I'm trying to uninstall windows defender as its bloating my pc and causing memory leaks, but task manager wont let me even close the program (access denied)

My next thought was to delete the Windows Defender folder in my C: drive, but I need permission from TrustedInstaller to modify the folder.

Upon trying to change the ownership of the folder, none of the accounts become editable (I can't assign any permissions to the administrator) and thus cannot change the ownership of the folder from trustedinstaller.

Any tips?

This is on Windows 10, for what its worth I haven't purchased a copy yet.

 

Changed the ownership of C:\windows on 2016 server from trustedinstaller to administrator and changed back

Hi Everyone,

Please help me with the following concern.

On my 2016 server i changed the ownership of C:\windows from Trustedinstaller to local administrator. I had also unknowingly selected the option to apply it to sub folders and files. Noticed it had changed ownnership on all the subfolders in C:\windows
to Administrator.

Post this i changed ownership back to Trustedinstaller, and no permissions were changed.

Now i see all folders in C:\windows , owner as Trustedinstaller. On another 2016 server i found that some subfolders have the ownership set to system in C:\windows.

Will the existing ownership of C:\windows and its subfolders to trustedinstaller cause any problem? If yes how do i reset the ownerships to defaults. There we no permissions changes done.

Thanks,
