Windows 10: TrustedInstaller Access Denied when taking ownership

So I'm running Windows 8.1 Enterprise and wanted to get windows 10 so I decided to change to try and change to windows 8,1 professional. However, when I tried to change the product key in Registry Editor, I required permission from TrustedInstaller. I decided to look up a guide as to how I should fix this & followed it however if I press "OK", I receive a popup saying my access was denied.

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)

Windows 10 x64 Pro

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.

Trying to take ownership of Content.IE5 - Access is denied

​I'm trying to take ownership of a shortcut to: C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /c get_iplayer_web_pvr.cmd

When I try, I get:
Code:

I have taken ownership (folders and all content within) of:

• C:\Users\kingm\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache\Content.IE5 (which, I believe, is a Junction)
• C:\Users\kingm\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache\IE

Any ideas?
