    permissions in c:/program files/ windowsapps/ have changed and I can not change them error is Windows cannot access the specific device, path or file You may not have appropriate permissions to access them .


    most app's and all troubleshooters will not work, internet drops out and issues with sound


    I loaded

    Microsoft Edge Version 87.0.658.0 Official build dev 64-bit

    Getting full access to C:\Program Files\WindowsApps

    Hey x509,
    IIRC ... it's not actually a corrupt entry, but a special permission/condition (Exists:WIN://SYSAPPID) for Users(Pc-Name\Users) and shouldn't be removed. If you must change permissions on the WindowsApps folder and/or sub folders/files .... I suggest you get familiar with ICACLS first and save the current WindowsApps Folder / Sub Folders / File permissions to a acl.txt file, so you can restore them in case you break something (which is very likely when messing with permissions)

    ICACLS - iCacls - Modify Access Control List - Windows CMD - SS64.com

    Why I can not open C:\Program Files\WindowsApps ?

    Hey camelia,
    FYI .. that "access control entry is corrupt" message is misleading. It's actually a special permission/condition that is suppose to be there and I would not change/mess with it .... IIRC it's the user DOMAIN\USERS with the Condition Exists (Win://SYSAPPID)

    BTW ... if you're just wanting to take a look inside the C:\Program Files\WindowsApps you should be able to do it by opening a Command Prompt as Admin and cd C:\Program Files\WindowsApps then dir to list the folders.

    permissions in c:/program files/ windowsapps/ have changed

    What is the default OWNER of C:\Program Files\WindowsApps

    H PollockLA

    Click your Start Button, then just type cmd

    From the resulting list, right click Command Prompt and choose 'Run as Administrator'

    Paste this into Command Prompt and press Enter:

    icacls "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps" /reset /t /c /q

    What command will take time to execute, wait for that command to complete, then close Command Prompt

    That will reset all permissions on the WindowsApps folder and all contained files and folders
