Windows 10: Why is support.microsoft.com blocked: "You don't have permission ..." following May 2020...

Today, Saturday, August 15, 2020, my 15-inch Surface Book 2 finally received the May 2020 update.



First, the August 2020 Patch Tuesday patches came down on Wednesday, August 12.



A bunch more patches came down on Friday, August 14, including a firmware update



The next day, Saturday, August 15, 2020, a Check for Updates revealed that the May 2020 updates were now ready to download and install.



It took over an hour to download, install and reboot multiple times, but so far, it's working for most areas, but not in one critical area.


Why is support.microsoft.com blocked and why does the error say I do not have permission?

No permissions

Hi,

I would suggest you to right click on the user's folder for your profile and check if the permissions shows as "read only'. If this is the case, it might be causing the issue. In this case, I would suggest you to go to C:\User folder, right click on the
folder with your username and follow these steps:

• 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. Try these steps and let us know the results for further assistance.
