Windows 10: Suddenly unable to save files into Documents folder

Recently, some of the applications on my computer are unable to save files to folders in the Documents directory. It started with Notepad and Paint. Now I can't create and save in Paint 3D either. I was successfully using the Snipping Tool to copy and save images from those programs, but today I can't save new snips either... I can save newly created files to the Downloads folder only, but I'm not able to move them into their proper folders. I get this Error when I try to move Files from Downloads to any Documents folder:


Destination Folder Access Denied

You'll need to provide Administrator Permission to move to this folder

It provides a Continue button with the Admin shield on it, but when I click on that it errors again, with the only options beingTry Again or Cancel. The only option that works is Cancel:


Destination Folder Access Denied

You need permission to perform this action

I am the only user of this Computer, and I have changed NO Property or Permission Settings on it whatsoever, save for allowing Windows Updates.


Even when I run these programs in Administrator mode tho I'm already logged in as Admin, they will not save. I get this message, as though I'm trying to open a doc instead of save one:


Save As

C:\Users\Laurie\Documents\Test.txt

File Not Found

Check the name and try again


Things I've tried so far:

1. Restart Windows Explorer & rebooted computer - No change

2. CMD - Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth also /ScanHealth & /RestoreHealth

3. CMD - sfc/scannow & Rebooted - All DOS Commands completed successfully - No Fix


Prior to these actions, I was able to open existing docs or pics, change and save them. Now I can't even do that.


I notice on my Documents folder Attributes: Read Only is checked. I un-checked it, Applied, and Saved, but when I look again, Read Only is checked again. It's not Applying my change. Actually, the Downloads Folder also has Read Only checked as well, but I am allowed to save to it. And the Security Tab Permissions are identical on both folders...


My Folders and Documents no longer belong to me somehow. Any help to resolve this issue will be greatly appreciated.

Unable to Save to Documents Folder

I can't move, copy or save anything to my Documents folder. I checked the properties of the folder, under security, it listed only Home Users and WMP Network Svc. My account name is listed in the security tabs of Pictures, Music, etc., and I am able to
save, copy and move to those folders. My account is listed in C:/Windows/Users/myname/Documents under the security tab. How do I add my name to the Documents folder in File Explorer?

 

Unable to save files in documents folder on windows 10.

After upgrading to windows 10 suddenly I am unable to save files in the documents folder. When I move or paste any file in the documents folder, it asks for permission and thus by clicking continue I'm able to move files. But problems comes when I take any
voice recording or picture through my webcam as a message appears saying that, "Before you can record, we need access to your documents folder." Problems also comes when I play games like NFS or GTA etc. that saves user data and save files in the documents
folder as my progress is not being saved even if I try to manually save my progress, it doesn't. I would be thankful if somebody can tell me what to do to get rid of this issue.

 

Unable to Save to Documents Folder

I was able to removed Everyone from the Users Doc folder, so it now lists only SYSTEM, My MA and Administrators. Still can't save to the Documents folder in File Explorer.
