    Why suddenly there is Authenticated Users coming for all files and folders in my C drive?


    Earlier i had only SYSTEM, Administrators & Users where administrators and users have my name. But ever since I have swapped my hdd with ssd and put my hdd into caddy in place of disk drive and migrated my OS from hdd to ssd, I see here that both my C and D drives have by default "Authenticated Users" is selected.
    How to remove this "Authenticated Users" and keep only three system, administrators and users? Because I'm facing issues while moving files which asks for authentication each time. And while installing software like Oracle, the installed failed to install as it doesn't have permission. So please help me anyone to get rid of this so that I have by default get full control and i can see either SYSTEM or Administrators when i check it. Many many thanks.

    Why all my newly created files and folders Encrypted in Desktop?

    Every time I create a new folder or file and save it to my Desktop, a gold padlock icon appears on it. I tried the following steps but no use:

    1. Go to C:\Users\User_Name and select Desktop folder, right click on it, select properties, then go to Advanced, unchecked the option "Encrypt the option to secure data". Then it shows one error as

    "An error occurred trying to apply attributes to the file:

    C:\Users\User_name\Desktop

    The specific file could not be decrypted" .

    2. Open an administrator command line and run "cipher /u /n" to list all the EFS files.

    Then run "cipher /d "path to the file"" to decrypt all the EFS files.

    Any other suggestions ?

    Regards

    Win 10 suddenly moving/duplicating files to C:/Users

    Why on earth would Win 10 suddenly move My Documents, My Pictures, My Downloads, My Music, etc,...to C:/Users and duplicate new, empty folders in Quick Access? All folders dated this morning. Was there an update installed? This is crazy!

    Why suddenly there is Authenticated Users coming for all files and folders in my C drive?

    windows 10 deleted my desktop files

    Step 1 - I upgraded to Win 10 and lost all my files on Desktop.

    Step 2 - Found the files in Network - USers- Desktop

    copied all files again to desktop.

    Step 3- Restarted my machine again and lost desktop files again.

    Step 4 - As suggested did the following as listed below but dont find my files.

    • Press “Windows + E”, open This PC/Computer
    • Open Local Disc C, open Windows.old
    • Click on Users, select your User name
    • Go to desktop folder
    Cant find my files. Why is Win 10 deleted files again and again from Desktop ?.
