  2. I sometimes get the "Unable to write to C:\ProgramData\16787" error when trying to download some files.

    Occasionally I get an error message saying, "Unable to write to C:\ProgramData\16787 - IT policies may be restricting access to this folder." and I am wondering what to do to fix this.

  3. Lord Quo Win User
    Error with permissions writing in C:\Users\MyUser\AppData\Local

    Hi all.

    I'm having problems with user or app permission to this folder and this subfolrders:

    • One problem is with my PortableApps executables, they said that not have access to my temp folder, the problem is in
      C:\Users\MyUser\AppData\Local\Temp. I'm tried changing the location of this folder and changing my env variables, but the problem is the same
    • Other problem, but related to the previous one, is with my self code programs, writen in Visual Studio 2015. I have a routine to save some app's settings, and the path wher there are saved is in
      C:\Users\MyUser\AppData\Local\MyApp and the result is the same, the app does not have permissions to write here

    I think the root of the problem is the same, only with
    different symptoms, according to the program that
    is currently running.

    My temporary solution was set compatibility mode to Windows XP Service Pack 3, but this is not correct, because I can not debug my Visual Studio program.

    Can you help me?

    Thanks in advance

    Unlocking Restricted Access Due To Group Policy Setting

    Thanks again for the reply.

    I followed your suggested steps, but even though the user shows as being added and active it does not appear on the sign in page as an alternative account.

    Maybe I am giving the command in the wrong directory. When I boot into the recovery environment the directory in command prompt is: x:\windows\system32

    I ran the command from here. But the new added user did not appear on the sign in page.

    I also used the diskpart and list volume command to check on which partition windows is installed. I changed directory to c:\> and again followed your steps. But again the new added user did not appear on the sign in page.

    Can you please give me more instructions on how to remedy my foolish Group Policy restriction?
