    c:\ProgramData is not accessible

    each time I try or any program tries to access the C:\ProgramData folder an error message popup saying that the folder is not accessible , I tried every possible security option but still access denied , and I am logged in as administrator though I can't
    access this folder , also I tried the takeownership registry thing and I tried changing the owner of the folder in security settings but changing the owner is denied also . i can not do a system restore since it detects a local disk C error and it wont restore
    unless the error is fixed after a restart , so i tried to repair the error many times but each time I run system restore the disk error still occurs ( this is still happening even after I formatted my disk and reinstalling windows 10) , so please can anyone
    help me accessing the ProgramData folder ..

    Control Panel Uninstall will not show folders in C:\ProgramData

    Hi,

    I was trying to use Program Uninstall in Control Panel to get rid of PC Cleaner Pro that is in C:\ProgramData . It wasn't in the list of Programs. It appears that the only programs in the list are in C:\Program Files. Is there any safe way to get Control
    Panel to access and remove programs in C:\ProgramData? I have Windows 10 Home Version 1607.

    THANKS!!!

    Why does Powershell V1 and not V7 trying to access %system%\CatRoot?: Hi, everyone. Defender notificates that Powershell.exe is trying to access %system%\CatRoot. It should be regular BUT the fact that the specific Powershell is NOT the updated pwsh.exe version 7 I've installed recently, but the old and potentially unsafe version 1.It's strange...

    Why is powershell trying to access "%system%\CatRoot", and %temp%/: Every time I turn my computer on I get a notification that "unauthorized changes blocked", "powershell.exe". I did have a virus a few weeks ago and possibly still have one. I'm also getting a blocked app or "mscorsvw.exe"...
