NT SERVICE/TrustedInstaller - Can't change owner/Error message

Hi F.Grobusch,

It is still displaying with - unable to display current owner. Should it be saying TrustedInstaller.

It seems the files have transferred back under TrustedInstaller. Can't be sure as I can't access the folder and don't want to change anything else.

Thanks

Hi Ron,


To help resolve your concern, you have to first take ownership of the files or folders and then grant yourself full
control permissions and rights. To do so, follow the steps on this link:

• 
  Open
  File Explorer
  and then locate the file or folder you want to take ownership of.
  
• 
  Right-click the file or folder, click
  Properties and then select
  Security
  tab.
  
• 
  Click the
  Advanced
  button and the
  Advanced Security Settings
  window will appear. You need to change the Owner of the key. Click the
  Change link
  next to the "Owner:" label
  
  
• 
  The
  Select User or Group window will appear. Type "NT Service\TrustedInstaller"
  as the new owner name.
  
• 
  Click
  OK to change the ownership and you are done.
  

Let us know how it goes.

Hi Harshita Dubey,

I am Dave, I will help you with this.

Right click the System32 folder and select Properties, then select the Security tab and click Advanced.

Click the Change button beside owner and then set this as the owner of tat folder

NT SERVICE\TrustedInstaller

If that succeeds, save that setting and restart (not shut down) your PC
