Windows 10: What happened? All my files became read only

So ran my work computer, ran unity, I got a messagebox saying that I should move my project folder's to another place as it could be read only where it was. I thought it was odd, checked the project folder in explorer and sure enough, it was marked as read "read only" and after checking, so are all my files and folder in documents/desktop/pictures,....

Didn't really know what to do with this so I went to C:/Users/ and unticked the read only attribute to my account folder. That was this morning at 6 am. Right now it's still converting each single files in that folder so I didn't get to work at all this entire morning and it's almost noon, 5+ hour of work time lost because of this.

Anyway, did I do the right thing? If not, what should I do?

What caused this in the first place? I didn't download/installed anything new on the computer last week, didn't change any setting.

How do I prevent this from happening again?

Thanks.
