    Total Permissions reset for Windows 10 default permissions on local drive C:\. Icacls.exe...


    Hello I was trying to learn how to reset permissions on Windows 10 under advanced security. The owner of my C: was not my name it was listed as Trustedinstaller, I wanted to correct this and made a change to my username that is the Administrator. Once this completed I was locked out of my task bar. I tried to use Icalcs to reset the permissions but this does not work.

    went to test a total reset under the Icacls.exe with admin this is the command what it does

    preformed icacls reset in powershell to test this functionality seems it fails for windows 10 preformed for each folder to reset them

    It ran perfectly to test this functionality


    however..... no more task bar...

    I ran SFC /scann now this did not fix it also reset the taskbar with powershell.


    where is a total premission reset to default admin and users of windows. If this fails why do we have the option to change this under all of C:?


    what is the reason we can change and take control of this over trusted installer if it causes system critical issues?


    Icacls.exe failed to reset and fix premissions.

    :)

    Default drive permissions

    Hi Jortus

    If you need to reset default permissions on that drive, here are the steps:

    Click your Start Button, then just type cmd

    Form the resulting list, right click Command Prompt and choose 'Run as Administrator'

    Paste this command into Command Prompt and press Enter

    icacls "D:\" /t /q /c /reset

    Windows 10 permissions...

    How is the NAS on windows 10 Pro? Is it software or a share? Did you check ntfs vs share permissions?

    File permissions to delete file

    @Hydrate, you must be careful with your suggestions.

    No it doesn't. It replaces ACLs with inherited ACLs. A default Windows install does not take inherited permissions from root.

    Again, no it doesn't. It grants full access to administrators group which Windows does not do and would be unwise to do.

    There is no way (apart from a clean install) to reset default permissions any more.

    If OP wants to delete a specific file a safer way would be to change the permissions on that specific file (by taking ownerhip and granting permissions) or use unlocker which will do it at boot.

    Changing permissions on the whole C drive is a bad idea.
