    Windows 10: You don't have permission to save in this location.....


    This is a process but it worked for me:
    You can follow these steps for one folder or go here to make sure your folder is shared with Everyone
    1.Right click on the folder that you can't access and click share with >specific people
    2. Click add and then enter Everyone for a user name
    3. Click read permissions where it says read to read/write
    4. Click share, click done

    1. Right click properties on the folder you can't access
    2. Click advanced.
    3. Click change owner
    4. Type Everyone for the owner and select owner reset to full control.
    5. close properties
    6. Then click on the save file box and choose the default folder you want to save to in the open dialog box.
    With a new owner with full control of everything and sharing it should work if you followed this completely. Worked for me. *Shock

    Hi. I'm facing the same problem but make it possible currently. Well while troubleshooting with myself i was thinking since when the problem started then I noticed the problem started since from i have been logged in my laptop with the Microsoft account. So I just went to users and logged out from the Microsoft account and again logged in as normal admin user. And problem solved it never asked me again with some message like this. Well I'm not the techies or computer knowledge guy but it worked for me. I googled the error but no one was with the solution so temporarily i made it out myself. The problem is with microsoft account.

    Thanks and Regards.
