    whenever i have a clip that i made from a game and i try to trim it, it gives me an error message saying "It looks like as though you dont have permission to save changes to this file, Try saving a copy instead.'' i am the only user on the device and i find it quite odd that it says "as though" in the error message, is there a fix for this?

    You dont have permission to save in this location...


    This is a process but it worked for me:
    You can follow these steps for one folder or go here to make sure your folder is shared with Everyone
    1.Right click on the folder that you can't access and click share with >specific people
    2. Click add and then enter Everyone for a user name
    3. Click read permissions where it says read to read/write
    4. Click share, click done

    1. Right click properties on the folder you can't access
    2. Click advanced.
    3. Click change owner
    4. Type Everyone for the owner and select owner reset to full control.
    5. close properties
    6. Then click on the save file box and choose the default folder you want to save to in the open dialog box.
    With a new owner with full control of everything and sharing it should work if you followed this completely. Worked for me. *Shock

    it looks like you dont have permission to save changes to this file.

    Hi Ricky,

    If you are prompted that you do not have permissions when saving a file, even if you are an administrator, there might be an application that is blocking you from making changes to the file. Can you tell us if there are any third-party antivirus applications
    installed on your computer? If there are, kindly disable them temporarily and see if you are able to save a file. Third-party antivirus programs may often times take control of some apps or settings within the system, causing you to be blocked from accessing
    these apps or settings.

    Note: Antivirus software can help you protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you shouldn’t disable your antivirus software. If you have to temporarily disable it, you should re-enable it as soon
    as you’re done. If you’re connected to the Internet or a network while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    If disabling your antivirus programs does not resolve the problem, feel free to post back to us.

    Saving edited photos. The message is "It looks as though don't have permission to save changes to this file"

    Some changes have come to Windows 10 without my knowledge. When I now edit a photo II cannot save it. The message is "It looks as though don't have permission to save changes to this file"

    What have Microsoft and how can I change it back . . I've tried various things but they don't work.
