  2. Unknown User as Owner

    Hi Bree, thanks for stepping up to address this issue.
    As far as I know my External Drive has only been used on my PC.

    I could try to implement your suggestion and take Ownership of those Folders.
    The "Take Ownership" link is present in my right click menu, but I'm currently logged in with my Microsoft account, so perhaps it would be better if I went Properties --> Security --> Advanced & set the Owner to Administrators, no?!

    Although my mind is bugged with a new question now.
    If I change the Owner & later on I have to restore a backup (Acronis on a CD) won't I encounter problems then?

    That made me so facepalm. Some people have absolutely no clue. I hope they don't take you for granted with all this you're doing for them.

    SonicWall is a good security product, so Mindweaver's suggestion sounds like a good one and should make for a rather bigger baby step. Let's hope they take it.

    security key not associated by owner

    Can't open access control editor. Unable to perform a security operation on an object that has no associated security.

    Many thanks Deepika,

    • D: drive is my internal drive
    • I logged-in as an administrator.
    • I Have NOT made any changes to the operating system prior to this issue, but this problems started after Windows Update KB3122947.
    I tried your method 1

    - When I clicked Properties > Security > Advanced
    > Change then I got an error message "Can't open access control editor. Unable to perform a security operation on an object that has no associated security".

    - When I clicked > Properties > Security tab
    > Under Group or user names there is a blank field.

    - When I clicked > Properties > General > Advanced
    > Encrypt contents to secure data is NOT selected.

    - When I clicked > Properties > Security tab
    > Advanced > Owner says Unable to display Owner. then I get an error message "Can't
    open access control editor. Unable to perform a security operation on an object that has no associated security".

    I tried your method 2, but even after I disabled all services I still have all the above problems. Can't access a folder on my d drive, where I have installed several important programs

    Best regards
