Windows 10: Taking ownership of program file folder Access denied

I was having issue with ownership/permission while I am developing using new language. Currently, my program file's owner is Trustedinstaller. I would need to change ownership so I can modify controls... but kept getting access is denied. I changed my user folder ownership to everyone. but not program file folder. Can someone help? thanks.

Current ownership



I tried to change to different owner. tried different options...

Folder access denied and Take Ownership fails

Hello,

I have been dealing with an issue lately not being able to access the files from an external drive. That drive contains the windows 10 files that I had on my old pc. I have tried many methods of trying to take folder ownership and it keeps failing, error
messages include: "You have been denied permission to access this folder, to gain access...security tab" which I have tried multiple of times and still no luck. I tried to change the owner to admin, my user, everyone still nothing, all I get is "Error Applying
Security...Failed to enumerate objects in the container. Access denied". I have also tried using a third-party software "Take Ownership" even that failed.

Besides that I tried to perform cmd commands in admin such as check the disk and the response I get is "CHKSDK is not available for RAW drivers". I even tried:

• takeown /f S:\path/r /d y
• icacls S:\path /grant administrators: f /t

The response from the above command is: "Error: The request has failed due to a fatal device hardware error".

Not sure what else to do. I would appreciate if someone can suggest a possible solution. I got some important files stored there and I really dont wanna lose them.

Thanks in advance.

Folder Access Denied - OK after 'Take Ownership' - but ... why ?


Got an Access Denied error on 1 specific folder.

1) went through [Run] lusrmgr.msc steps
then also
2) went through secpol.msc steps

error still remained

3) applied "Take Ownership" registry setting and took ownership of the folder.
Everything is okay now.

BUT...
whilst the issue is solved, the 'WHY" still puzzles me.

a) I took a screenshot of Properties->Security of the 'Access Denied'-folder before the take ownership
and after take ownership (see 'A')
Administrators (DESKTOP-xxxxx\Administors) was added

b) I took a screenshot of some random other folder on another drive (see screenshot B)
the Owner of the folder after 'take ownership' - my name and email address
the Owner of the random other folder - Administrators (DESKTOP-xxxxx\Administors)

Before the 'Take Ownership'-action, when checking out the properties->security





and after clicking on the the [Continue] button there, I got an error:
"You do not have permission to view this object's security properties, even as an administrative user."

Appreciate views
Hopefully Microsoft will fix this in their upcoming SP (there are so many endless exchanges on this)

Take ownership of file getting Access is denied error

Hi Experts

I am getting a Access is denied when running the below command on two of the files. I am running CMD as administrator.

C:\WINDOWS\system32>Takeown /r /f C:\Windows\CSC

SUCCESS: The file (or folder): "C:\Windows\CSC" now owned by user "XANDER\xande".

SUCCESS: The file (or folder): "C:\Windows\CSC\v2.0.6" now owned by user "XANDER\xande".

SUCCESS: The file (or folder): "C:\Windows\CSC\v2.0.6\namespace" now owned by user "XANDER\xande".

INFO: Access is denied. ( "C:\Windows\CSC\v2.0.6\pq" )

INFO: Access is denied. ( "C:\Windows\CSC\v2.0.6\temp" )

Please advise how I can take ownership. Even when using the normal right click on the folder via properties I am not able to take ownership of the files.
