Windows 10: Read Only Attribute Windows 10 64 Bit

Hi,

I have recently been having problems saving some files. I became aware that this was due to the Read Only attribute being set on the folder and files.

I have attempted to uncheck the attribute using properties->general. The read only attribute is rechecked when you check the properties again.

Any new file or folder is set as read only.

I used diskpart to check if the C drive is read only - it appears that it is not.

I tried to create a new windows user but the problem continues.


I have created test folders and attempted

attrib -r +s and attrib -r -s for the folder

I have checked the securities tab to ensure that all users have full control of c drive and of the folders in question.

I have ensured that it applies to this folder and sub folders.

I have disabled and uninstalled any antivirus

I have followed guides posted by others and the solutions don't seem to make a difference.


If anybody has any other suggestions before I reformat the computer and start again I would appreciate it . . .

Thank you

:)

 

Windows 10 Upgrade 32-bit to 64-bit

So, Windows 10 Upgrade is being rolled out worldwide, and I have 'reserved' my upgrade.

Currently my computer is running Windows 7 Pro 32-bit. I'm planning to 'upgrade' it to Windows 10 64-bit (via fresh install, of course).

After reading many references, these will be the steps I'll do:

1. Let the "Get Windows 10" app upgrade my OS to Windows 10 32-bit
   
2. Note the activation key
   
3. Download the Installation Media for Windows 10, but choosing 64-bit instead
   
4. Perform a clean install
   
5. Reactivate using the activation key in Step #2
   

(Of course I'll backup my data first.)

However, I still have some questions:

1. On Windows 7, the activation key does not differ between 32- or 64-bit versions. Is it still so with Windows 10?
   
2. Will I be able to download a different architecture on Step #3?
   
3. Is there anything I need to prepare beforehand?
   

Thank you for your assistance.

GPU-Z update loop (Windows 10 64-bit)

I don't have better steps - this is all, I have nothing to add.

Maybe it is worth noting issue was on Windows 10 Enterprise, build 14393.187, so maybe you should test on the same.
My other PCs have a different Windows 10 version - Pro, latest Insider Preview build from last week, and there is no such issue on those.
All are 64-bit edition of Windows 10.

This issue is not new. I have had same 1-2 years ago too, with older GPU-Z versions.

EDIT: And yes, I have Windows 10 UAC enabled and set to defaults. If you are using your Windows PCs with UAC off, you likely cannot reproduce this issue. *Smile
