    My whole drive keeps reverting to read only instantly when I change it


    Whenever I check properties I see that my files have reverted to read only and when I try to change them back they revert again. I can't seem to find anything regarding viruses or software so I think it might be a niche topic, as all the solutions I found did not work. I hope there is an easy solution because I'm not that tech savvy. Thanks!

    :)

    Drive and folders with Music on it keep reverting to Read Only

    I have an internal drive with Serato programs and music library on it. It keeps reverting back all the folders to read only. attribute change through command prompt, admin does not difference either.

    DVD Drive issues.

    The games used to run, now apparently the disks don't even read.

    Go to Device Manager and remove the DVD
    Scan for hardware changes and update driver as OS suggests

    Still not working?

    1) Clean the heads.
    2) Run a diagnostic program on the drive.

    Nothing else has changed about your system aside from the OS?

    Revert to XP Home, assuming you don't find the source of the problem in steps above.

    Folder keeps reverting to read-only

    Every time I un-check the "read-only" attribute on a folder it automatically reverts the changes I've made.

    I tried taking full control of the folder as the administrator and as users and I've also tried using "attrib -r +s drive:\\" in run but it doesnt seem to work.

    How can I change the file to read only and keep it from changing back?
    (I'm on windows 10 Home)
