  1. New SSD, folders keep reverting to read only


    Hello,I have bought a new SSD and formatted it. All files within are automatically set to 'read only' and keep reverting whenever unticked.The SSD is NOT set to read only. It's shown as 'healthy' in Windows and in the diskpart cmd, it is also not shown as readonly.All users have full control. Controlled folder access under ransomware protection is off. I have tried mounting it as a folder and still face the same issues.Owner of SSD is set as: SYSTEM by default. If someone could help me with this, I'd greatly appreciate it. I am out of ideas.Thank you.

    :)

    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!

  3. Folder reverts to Read Only (Tried MANY Fixes...)

    Hello,

    On one of our Windows 10 systems, a particular folder keeps reverting to Read Only...

    I have read carefully, and tried, the many suggestions I have found. All have failed.

    Might there be a "This always works for me" approach out there? This is driving me nuts.

    Sincere thanks,

    Lothar
