Windows 10: Locked out of my drivers

I was trying to change some of the permissions for my E: and D: drive when i goofed up and now i cannot access anything in my drivers.

Every time i click both drivers it just says "D:/ is not accessible Access denied".

When i go back to the security tab in properties there is nothing there and when i clicked advanced there is nothing there either.







Is there anyway to fix this? I really don't want to format it because i would lose a lot of stuff and lose my mind.

Lock ups can be caused by overheating, or sound failure.

Make sure you update your chipset drivers for audio. Also tell me step by step of how you install your heatsink.
