Windows 10: Permissions Issues - You do not currently have permission to ...

Service Release 1 - it should fix several major bugs - we hope!
I should be released any day now

 

Hi. Yep, exactly the same issue here. Good to know it's not just me.

 

OK, here's what I did -

• Shutdown, disconnect the slave hdd (where I have my libraries) and boot up. (windows recreates libraries)
• Shutdown again, reconnect slave hdd, boot up and tell windows where the libraries are.
• Change the advanced security permissions for the slave hdd selecting both tick boxes and reboot.
• Rebuild windows indexing (this took several hours)

Almost 2 days now and so far so good

 

I see no release of SR1 yet.

My installation's current version, which I upgraded to two days ago, is:
"Cumulative Update for Windows 10 for x64-based Systems (KB3081424)"
To see the latest installed version, I clicked 'Start button', 'Settings', Úpdates and Security', 'Advanced options', 'Show history of your updates'.
Clicking button 'Search for Updates' found no newer updates.

 

change the security for the DRIVE

select properties, select edit
select system. allow all
select administrators. allow all
select users. allow all
click OK

Apparently KB3081424 is what the press are referring to as SR1! Confusing isn't it?
It includes a number of fixes

 

I hope that SR1 will give me the ability to move a file between libraries. This copy and paste method is getting old.

 

Ah. So: Crap! Got SR1 and the problem still persists.
@Kyhi: Tryed that, gives a security issue, but even this does not solve this problem.

Solved it now by adding the my username to the security-tab of the properties of my document-directory (...User\me\documents)

 

I have a similar problem, Windows 10 was working fine until recently. KB3081424 was installed 2 days ago. I constantly have problems trying to save the documents I have created. Under "Folder Properties" I have 2 "unknown accounts" starting with S-1-5-21 I have another which is not unknown but randomly changes number it ends with at the moment it's -1012. (it has now disappeared). My documents folder has been redirected to my F Drive as I have a SSD drive as my C: drive and it would be beyond full if it hadn't been redirected. At the moment I cannot even save a notepad. I am constantly resetting the Security permissions to allow full access to try an save my own stuff. I cannot work with this product. It might be free but I've paid well over the odds for the man hours I've wasted.

 

Thanks to the guys on tenforums. If you've read this post also check-out this page.
Solved Unable to create or save files in folders - Windows 10 Forums
I now see we're far from being alone. No such thing as a free lunch!

 

No Go, my permissions are already set as you described. I am going to disable OneDrive (as I don't use it anyway) as others have suggested on other forums. I'll let ya'll know.

 

Just to update everyone, I have not had this issue since I last posted (immediately after disabling OneDrive), so I believe this is a viable workaround.

 

Just disabled OneDrive for all users, and problem seems to have been solved. We'll see....

 

The links on this forum to contact MS dont work. I have 2 folders with hundreds of gigs of data I dont have access too. Ive read this whole forum. Googled for 2 days now and I cant find an answer. Im not sure if these folders were locked under win 8.1 and when I did the upgrade it messed them up. I cant downgrade. So does anyone have a working link or phone # to contact support. this is a huge problem. Needs to be fixed asap.
Thanks

 

I know this thread is old, but I may have stumbled across a simple fix for folder sharing. In the folder's Properties | Sharing | Share With, the 'Everyone' account was missing. adding it to each folder I am sharing brought them back to life.
When you Add Everyone, you have a choice of Read or Read/Write permissions. The latter gives Modify + Delete permissions.
