  1. My folder won't stop reverting to read only


    I keep on changing the folder off read only and it won't stop changing it back. The folders that lead to it are also read only but they also won't change off read only. I don't know how to fix it but I already tried the security fix and it didn't work. How can I fix it?

    My folder won't stop reverting to read only

    Folder Reverting to Read Only

    I have two drives. My C drive and my D drive. I use my D drive as an external hard drive, but it's internal. My C drive is an SSD and my D drive is an HDD. My SSD is too small, so everything large goes on the HDD. Every folder in my HDD is read-only. I right click the folder and go into properties and take it off read-only and apply the changes, when I go back into properties the folder in question is back on read-only. I have googled this problem multiple times. So all of the basic things that I can try, have been tried. I'll list them below.

    Both CMD with Admin Privileges
    attrib -r +s drive:\<path>\<foldername>

    attrib -r -s drive:\<path>\<foldername>

    Example Images: Not my system, the images are examples but I did the aforementioned and still no result.

    CMD with Full Admin Privileges

    attrib -r "full path of folder\*" /s /d

    Powershell: With full Admin Privileges

    Get-ChildItem -Path "full path of file with extension" -Recurse -File | % { $_.IsReadOnly=$False }


    If there is anything else that I can try to get these folders off Read-Only. Please give me a detailed set of instructions that even a layman like myself can understand. Thanks in advance!
