    Unable to Save to Documents


    I can't move, copy or save anything to my Documents folder. I checked the properties of the folder, under serurity it listed only Home Users and WMP Network Svc. My account name is listed in the srcurity 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? I think that should fix my problem.

    In a not so critical glitch, my computer will not go to sleep using the power settings in the control panel.

  3. how to save scanned photos and documents to computer

    Hi,

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community. Your interest in Windows 10 is much appreciated.

    I suggest you to follow the below steps to give permission for entire system, so that you can save the files in photos and documents.

    • Right click on the folder and click on properties.
    • Click on security tab and select the group\user name.
    • Click on edit option and check the option full control.
    • Click on apply and then on ok button.
    Now you can try saving the file in photos and documents and check if the issue persists.

    Hope this information was helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.

  4. Unable to save any document on desktop in windows 10

    UNABLE TO SAVE **ANY** FILE IN WINDOWS 10

    Thank you for the assistance.

    1. Have you login as Microsoft Account or Local Account?

    I believe that I'm using the Microsoft Account.

    2. Are you receiving any error message while trying to save document files?

    I get the following error msg when trying to save a file to the Documents folder:

    C:\Users\Kris\Documents\File Name ( ie: test01.docx)

    You Dont't Have Permission To Save In This Location.

    Contact the Administrator to Obtain Permission.

    Do You Want to Save the File in the Documents Folder?

    The "Yes" or "No" button are available.
    "Yes"
    puts me into a circle with the error msg. "No" lets me out of the window/save process.

    3. When you say that "I can't play a game after the upgrade as the game won't save", are you trying to save something in game?

    Example game "Banished". The game has an 'autosave' function, which worked prior to the upgrade to Windows 10 without an issue. I'm also unable to 'save' a game when exiting. This function worked without an issue also prior to the upgrade to
    Win10.


    4. Are you login as Administrator account?

    I believe that my log-in account is has Administrator privileges.

    Results of following the suggestions:

    Step #1: I am not able to save a MS-Word file to the desktop. When I click the save to the desktop, **there isno
    icon** added to the desktop for the file. NOTE that I am able to find the file in the desktop folder in Explorer however.

    Step#2: I appear to be logged in as the administrator. When I follow the suggested path to determine the user settings, there is no "Users" (step #3) available. My icon does appear with the notation of "Administrator" under my user name
    and I appear to be in "Users". So I'm taking this as an indication that I'm the Administrator on the PC. The intent at install was to set myself as the Administrator.

    Step#3: I did add "Everyone" (no quotes) to the list successfully. It appears in the list now.

    When I click the OK button I get a error for every file in the folder.

    Error Applying Security

    -- There is a line showing the file path --

    C:\Users\Kris\Documents\file name. I get this for every file in the folder, just the 'file name' changes.

    -- The error box then says --

    Failed to enumerate objects in the container. Access is Denied.

    Clicking on the 'Continue' button will bring up the same error box, just with the next file's name.

    Clicking on the 'Cancel' button ended up being what was necessary.

    Step#4: When trying to Troubleshoot I got the following when using the 'Troubleshoot as Administrator':

    "Troubleshooting couldn't Identify the Problem."

    Again, thanks in advance for the assistance.
