    "Access is denied" - "Unable to display current owner" C:\

    Hi,

    I created a problem for myself. I have changed the security settings to access the c:\ drive. I meant to change this for additional users, but changed it for all users.

    Now I get this error notification: "Access is denied" - "Unable to display current owner"

    How can I fix this.

    I had contact with the helpdesk, suggestion was to do a clean install. But my pc is not working with me.

    default saved locations

    Hi Ashley,

    For better assistance, we'd like to know the following:

    • How did you transfer your pictures from OneDrive to your computer?
    • How were you trying to change the default save location?

    We're looking forward to your reply.

    Unable to change default save location for new apps

    I have a new PC running Windows 10. The c: drive is allocated to the 128GB SSD while the d: drive is allocated to my 2TB hard drive. I want to change the default location for all saves to the d: drive.

    I have gone into settings and selected Storage. I am able to change all defaults to the d: drive with the exception of New Apps. It displays "This PC (CWe couldn't set your default save location / Unable to display current owner on D Drive :)" and the drop down in grayed out and disabled.

    Any help on how to get this changed would be appreciated.

    Thanks.
