    Scanned Documents will not post to file in Windows 10

    Hi Dougars,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    I suggest you to follow the below steps and check if it helps.

    • Open the properties of the main user profile folder where the files are located (such as Documents, Pictures, etc).
    • Go to the Security tab and click Advanced.
    • Check the box at the bottom of this window. It is labeled "Replace all child object permissions with inheritable permissions from this object" and then click Ok.
    This does a one-time action that replaces the security on all the files/subfolders. It’s one-time, so you won’t find that box checked if you peek at it later.

    Next try to scan the documents and check if it shows the same error code.

    Please let us know if it’s working.

    File Destination

    I just downloaded an app from the web, and when I save the image it won't download to Pictures like I want. It downloads to One Drive Documents. How do I change the file destination to Pictures? I have Windows 10

    Documents Destination

    The next troubleshooting step we suggest is to restore the default location of the folders. To do this, follow these steps:


    • Right-click the Start button.

    • Choose File Explorer.

    • Type shell:UsersFilesFolder in the address bar.

    • Right-click the Documents folder.

    • Click the Location tab.

    • Click Restore Default.

    • Click OK.



    Follow the same steps to restore the default location for your Pictures folder.



    Give these steps a shot and check if the folders are unlinked from OneDrive.
