    Windows 10 Read Only, Can't Remove or Install Some Programs.


    Hi!


    I know there's a large amount of these threads already but I need some serious help. I haven't realized this until recently (Early February) but all of my files are now Read Only (With the black box, not checkmarked). The problem is i've done some of the solutions like one that removes the Read Only through CMD, but it tells me Access Denied. I've also tried giving myself permissions/making myself owner, however that doesn't do anything, the files just revert back to read only. I've been trying to run Clip Studio Paint, but it refuses to open/update, even some games like Borderlands 2 refuse to save because the save file is Read Only and won't change. Is there anything I can do at this point? I have been searching for a solution for the past month and haven't found anything that works, sadly. Windows 10 Read Only, Can't Remove or Install Some Programs. :(


    I've also reset my computer, run everything as admin, still to no avail.


    Thanks to anyone and everyone that responds!

    :)

    Add Remove Programs in Windows XP doesn't finish loading program list?!

    Add Remove Programs in Windows XP doesn't finish loading the program list (It never even starts displaying any programs) and I believe it may be that a uninstall program messed up completely and Windows can't figure out what programs are installed because of it. What is the problem? Please?

    Windows 10 installing progs

    I decided to take the plunge and upgrade to windows 10 from 7. I used the Media Creation Tool from MS website. It took awhile, but I am finally running Windows 10 (12-14).

    I opened the new App & Program feature to remove programs that I no longer needed. Scrolling down the list, I was horrified! Apps that I didn't install somehow magically installed themselves. Two programs stood out: Facebook and Candy Crush Soda Saga. Both programs have those tale-tale icons that they came from Windows Store (which I've never even opened). The install date for both of them were on 12-26.

    Is this a common thing for Windows 10? Or is it because I did an upgrade and not a clean install?
