Windows 10: Issue with "PermissionDenied" with PowerShell 5.1 running as Admin

Hi,

How do I modify or fix directories with a Mode of 'd--hsl' to allow the administrator to access? I'm using PowerShell 5.1 run as Administrator.


Mode LastWriteTime Length Name

---- ------------- ------ ----

d--h-- 7/19/2019 5:05 PM AppData

d--hsl 7/19/2019 5:05 PM Application Data

d--hsl 7/19/2019 5:05 PM Cookies

d--hs- 8/26/2019 5:01 PM IntelGraphicsProfiles

d--hsl 7/19/2019 5:05 PM Local Settings

d--h-- 12/18/2017 11:31 AM MicrosoftEdgeBackups

d--hsl 7/19/2019 5:05 PM My Documents



Thanks,

I suggested that in post #4 but @bromberg doesn't seem to have tried it yet...

 

Running Powershell as admin

To get around having to right click to run powershell as an admin...have you tried getting to powershell via the Task Manager? Open Task Manager via Ctl-Alt-Delete, then click on More details (if needed). From the File Menu, select Run new task. You can then click on the box that says "create this task with admin privileges", type powershell in the dialog box and enter. That eliminates the need to right click to run as an admin.

I assume you don't have 'exit' anywhere in your batch file?

Rather than playing with 'pause' - if you want to see the output...

1. Open a command window as admin
2. Run the batch file manually
3. Command window will not close unless the 'exit' command is issued
4. Read output

That's the first step I'd take to diagnose. Then run every line in your batch file manually, one-by-one, in your admin command window (copy and paste from the actual batch file, don't retype the commands).

You'll soon find your problem.
