    "read only" keeps reverting back


    Hello, it seems like I can't turn off "read only" for a specific folder, it keeps reverting back, I tried many solutions on the internet to grant authorisations but everything I tried failed

    It's not like I never had that problem, in windows vista, win 7, win 8, win 10, and every single time it's a pain in the ass trying to figure out how to fix it, I mean we are in 2020 and sometimes windows still amaze me on how confused it can be sometimes for the average user



    thanks

    Folder keeps reverting to read-only

    Every time I un-check the "read-only" attribute on a folder it automatically reverts the changes I've made.

    I tried taking full control of the folder as the administrator and as users and I've also tried using "attrib -r +s drive:\\" in run but it doesnt seem to work.

    How can I change the file to read only and keep it from changing back?
    (I'm on windows 10 Home)

    I have an internal drive with Serato programs and music library on it. It keeps reverting back all the folders to read only. attribute change through command prompt, admin does not difference either.
