Windows 10: MYNAME\Administrator has "Folder Access Denied" - to a folder it has "Full control" over

I think the image says it a lot more succinctly than I could...






Do I need to changer the User Account Control Settings - remove notifications? - fact is, I didn't actually ask for access to this folder, the dialog box just popped up of its own accord.


And I'll stop asking potentially stupid questions.


Hopefully someone can assist...

LOL @ using software to hide a folder *Stick Out Tongue
Right click folder, properties, and check permissions. Log on to the local admin account that is inevitably hidden, and give yourself permissions for read/write access to the folder.

If you're logged into an administrator account, you should be able to "Take Ownership" of the folder and all files within. It's kind of a lengthy complicated process so...linkage:
Learn How to Take or Assign Ownership of Files and Folders

This one might be easier to follow:
Take Ownership of a File or Folder

So long as the files weren't encrypted, this should clear the access denied error.
