  1. Programs / Games missing write permissions?


    I reinstalled Windows 10 a while ago and its been fine.

    Since maybe a month ago any recently installed steam games are failing to save their configuration (PoE and M&B2).

    How can I check what permissions are missing?

    I've tried: * giving all users except ALL APPLICATION PACKAGES and ALL.... RESTRICTED PACKAGES users full access yet no luck. * Running as admin (both steam and game) * Reinstalling * Using the utility to take ownership * Reset the file permissions using icacls "Mount & Blade II Bannerlord" /reset /t /c /l

    I know that PoE writes to the documents folder for its conf files and M&B does it to its own steamapps/common directory. M&B also writes to documents folder.

    It's very frustrating. Any ideas?

    Edit:

    It seems that M&B (according to this ) should have written the folder:


    %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Mount and Blade II Bannerlord\Configs\

    To my documents, but its not there.

    Theres nothing unusual about the my documents folder - the only thing I've done is to setup a different folder that I use as my documents but leave the "old" one intact. Could I have fucked up any PATH variables or anything?

  2. Why did the startup window get cleared?

    I didn't missed any step, the list was gone and gone , even after using lot of programs the programs were not listed in that list.

    • Click on ‘Add’ and type ‘everyone’.
    • Click on ‘Check names’ and then click ‘OK’.
    • Select ‘everyone’ and under ‘Allow’ select
      ‘Full control’
