Windows 10: I really need to be able to access a TrustedInstalled folder

Hello friends.
I'm writing today seeking the help of someone willing to help me out.

The tl;dr version is I'm denied access to a folder that's currently owned by TrustedInstaller: "You have been denied permission to access this folder. To gain access to this folder you will need to use the security tab

The full version is I need to be able to access my Microsoft Flight Simulator directory structure to be able to mod, configure and create my own flightplans. In other words, without that access, I won't be able to fully enjoy the software.

Now, I know how to take ownership from a folder. But here is the problem: a simple search on these forums yields many posts against taking ownership of anything owned by TrustedInstaller.

So, am I simply out of luck?

Quick Access not searching Pictures folder

Summary, that last suggestion didn't work.

• I moved the pictures to another folder temporarily.

• Then I tried to remove the Pictures folder with option one at Add or Remove Folders from This PC in Windows 10 | Windows 10 Tutorials. Even after rebooting, the Pictures folder remained.
• So I tried using option two. Same thing: reboot >> Pictures folder still there.

• Since there were no troubleshooting steps for this scenario, just for the heck of it, I ran through the restore steps. Copied some pictures into the Pictures folder, ran a Quick Access search and initial problem remains: Searching all of QA doesn't find any files in Pictures folder, running search on just the Pictures folder does. I want to run a global search and find matching files in any/all of the Documents, Music, Videos, and Pictures folders.

That article dates from 2015 and I'm guessing is out of date. I hope it didn't create potential future problems in my registry.

Bottom line: I'm still looking for a fix.

 

WindowsApps folder says permissions are corrupted and need to be deleted, is this normal or critical?

According to your description, I suggest you try the following steps:

1. Navigate to the location C:\Program Files.
   
2. Right-click on the WindowsApps folder, and select Properties.
   
3. Turn to Security tab and click on Advanced.
   
4. Click on Change and then type Users in Enter the object name to select area.
   
5. Click on OK, then click Apply > OK. You can also add the TrustedInstaller to the users list and check if it takes effect.
   

However, you might be still not able to access the files. The workaround is to go inside the C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\, and repeat the same way with the Microsoft.WindowsStore* folders.

 

Removing Access To Block my Files Being Deleted From TrustedInstaller

I replied in the message before! Thanks for your suggestions.

The error message is "Folder Access Denied, You Require Permission from TrustedInstaller to make changes to this folder"

I can make changes to some yet other walkthrough videos show that I can't. I'm very confused!
