Windows 10: Move a file into a folder with a non-inherited ACL rule, the file will not inherit ACL from...

Hi,


I have an issue to setup ACL rule correctly when I move files around folders, and it seems a Windows bug...


When I move a file into a folder with a non-inherited ACL rule, the file will not inherit ACL from its parent.


For example,


D:\Folder has an explicit rule on it, which say user A has read permission of it.


And a file "Iamfile" is created in D:\ which will inherit rules from D:\ correctly.


At this moment, if you move the file "iamfile" to D:\Folder from Windows Explorer, anything is fine, iamfile will inherit permission from D:\Folder.


However, it you use "MOVE" command to do the same operation, the file "iamfile" will not inherit permission from D:\Folder, and all original rules inherit from D:\ will become explicit rules on D:\Folder\iamfile.


I'm not so sure it's a by-design or it's a bug, but I think its later.


Can anyone help me to check this problem? or how can I preserve inheriting permission from its parent when I using command line tool to do that?


Thanks.


Jack

I know that you already know this , however in response to the aforementioned response

[ What is the [ ACL file ? ]

An access control list (ACL) is a list of access control entries (ACE). Each ACE in an ACL identifies a trustee and specifies the access rights allowed, denied, or audited for that trustee. The security descriptor for a securable object can contain two types
of ACLs: a DACL and a SACL.

 

Reset default ACLs for C:\Program Files\WindowsApps

I did not have to use the recovery disk option mentioned previously. I just had to run it from the command prompt in administrator mode:

Parameter description:

• /reset Replaces ACLs with default inherited ACLs for all matching files.
  
• /t Performs the operation on all specified files in the current directory and its subdirectories.
  
• /c Continues the operation despite any file errors. Error messages will still be displayed.
  
• /q Suppresses success messages.

Note: I think I may have also restarted the computer like suggested, but I don't think that is required.
