Windows 10: Windows 11: You don't have permission to save in this location. Contact the administrator...

This thing have been preventing me from making my PowerPoint presentation for the whole night and it just couldn't be helped. There's nothing wrong with my user permissions, I have literally tried everything people suggest here and it still doesn't work. There's no way to get the file off read-only status either. It's just impossible to do anything and I am not happy with 7 hours of work gone for it not being able to save. Can you please help me with this?

You don't have permission to save in this location. Contact the administrator to obtain permission.

Tried to save a document in Windows 10 as I have for years on Windows 7. Tried to "Save As" a Windows Document and received the following.

"You don't have permission to save in this location. Contact the service administrator to obtain permission".

Help.

 

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


I've just installed Windows 10. Now I find I am unable to save documents. A pop up window says contact the administrator for permission. It is a private pc and I am the main user and administrator. I've seen lots of posts on other forums for exactly the same problem and several suggested fixes that don't work.

Anyone suggestions?

 

You dont 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
