Windows 10: Windows 10 icons not working

I wanted to undo the read only attribute in the Program files folder, and I have followed this guide to carry out the process.

https://thegeekpage.com/solved-failed-t ... -10-error/

The reason I wanted to undo the read only status is because I kept getting prompts saying "you'll need administrator permission to copy to this folder" when trying to save a texture for a 3d object. Essentially I was forced to save it on the desktop, and then transfer it to the folder manually, again with the admin permission prompt. I didn't find it to be very efficient admittedly.

So I searched for a solution to the read only solution, and it involved a CMD command or two, and something else. For my convenience, the website that had the tutorial is currently offline, so I can't even confirm exactly what I did (I can't remember it that vividly).

But the problem is that after doing what seems to be a straightforward process of enabling additional privileges in Win 10, I have noticed that the taskbar icons (on the right), such as networking, volume control are now not working when I click on them. It took just under 2 hours for the privileges to be applied, and now there is the added bonus of an inconvenience. I have restarted the computer, and restarted explorer to no avail. What I do noticed is that I can save textures in the folder I wish to now, but with only about 80% of the Windows interface working. I can't even right click a folder on the taskbar.

Has anybody else here had this problem, and found a solution to it? I don't really want to reinstall Windows again.

Thanks in advance.

Windows 10 desktop icons not in order

In ccleaner, did you uncheck cleaning the icon cache... have not used in a while; however, I think that is what the option is called.

Now, if you are setting the icons and they move after you have set the settings and not changed them... you may have the "Random Windows 10 Icon movement problem".
Some people have this and some don't.

Here is a thread on the problem at Windows10 forums: Windows 10: Folder View Settings and Desktop Icon Positions Not Saving
