Understanding 'Access Denied' so that permissions can be reverted - icacls and takeown

• Before taking ownership of files and folders I would like to understand how to view the current permissions so that they may be reverted.
  
• I am reciving an 'Access Denied' message to view or save permissions with elevated command prompt for location: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\SystemData in Windows 10 enviroment.
  
• It looks like that I may need to take ownership first, then can view the permissions, and use something like icacls 'reset' command to fix it afterwards.
  

If I try to view permissions:

If I try to save an ACL file:

In the answer to 'Understanding how to use Icals & Takeown' the owner of the folder was NT SERVICE\TrustedInstaller which may infact may be a standard in Windows 10, though I am only guessing.

Should I just use takeown, and icals, find out the permissions and then use the reset command.

Likewise with the ACL, one would need to take ownership before creating, or is there a work around?

D drive is showing, but access denied.

Hello,

So suddenly after restarting my PC, the D: drive won't open, and apps installed there cannot be accessed.

It appears in the drives list, and in my computer folder, but when I try to open it, it shows me "access denied".

Tried every solution I found:
- Tried going to properties to change the security settings, but there is no tab for security.

- Tried error checking in properties, it fails to run.

- Tried chkdsk /r, chkdsk f/.. and it shows me "the type of the file system is ntfs" and then does nothing.

PLEASE HELP, how can I fix this?

BTW, it's 870 EVO SATA 2.5" SSD 2TB.

Windows 11.

 

Why is F drive showing NTFS and access is denied? How to solve it?

I have been using Windows 10. I used an external memory card on my laptop and found that one of my drives, "F," is showing NTFS, and access is denied. Now, I need to learn how to solve this problem. I tried to open the properties and hit on the security tab>advanced button.

Then, I found that the owner was changed from System to Administrator.

What's the problem? How I can solve the problem?
