Windows 10: Unable to Access Files Unless New Folder Created

Hello. I have been having problems with my file access lately. There are times when I create a folder and place files in the folder. After a while, the files become inaccessible. When I try to access the file, the program opening the file states that I don't have the correct permissions to access the file. I have a Take Ownership program that I used and it states that I (the administrator) have full control on the security tab under properties. I have seen this problem with MOV files, JPG files, GIF files. Even the icons appear to be affected.

Now the weirder part. When I copy all the files and paste them to a new folder, it works just fine again for a while and I am able the access my files again. Sometimes, I lose the access all over again.

I wanted to use SpinRite to analyze my hard drive, but it doesn't seem to work well with my computer.

I have a Dell 8900 XPS running the latest version of Windows 10.

Thanks for the help.

Windows 10 File Explorer & other such issues

Hey. does anyone know how to resolve the following? On a daily basis I need to reboot on average 7 or 8 times a day to resume normal tasks.

File Explorer - When accessing folders within File Explorer, (a) folders cannot be created or when lucky cannot be renamed, (b) accessing folders requires folder to be 'highlighted' via left mouse click then opened via right mouse menu, with no guarantee
that usual options will be shown (paste/delete/new), (c) when opening folders all subfolders automatically open restricting access to single subfolder unless it is 'un-highlighted' and another chosen, and so forth.

Internet - Unable to key text into search bars (Mozilla / Edge).

Settings Option - Unable to key text into search bars.

Event viewer shows nothing amiss. OS installed 31/07/2015 & recent updates installed.

Would rather not re-install or revert back to 7 but..........

Any help is appreciated

 

6280 - Cant store more than about 130 mp3 tracks on phone

Tried to create a new folder on my Kingston memory card, states that "Unable to create folder, The directory or file cannot be created" Any help would be appreciated!

 

It seems that for one reason or another you laptop doesn't "like" Take Ownership and the easiest way would be to find an alternative (maybe here: 6 Tools To Take Ownership and Get Full Control Of Files and Folders • Raymond.CC) or ask at TO's forum (if there is any) how people deal with this problem.

 

Thanks. TakeOwnership Pro worked for me.

 

Dont' use Spinrite, as far as I know, it does not sniff out software problems. To me, it is strictly a sector-tester/bad-sector-scrubber.
