    Windows cannot access permission pop-up CONSTANTLY


    I have a pop up reading: 'Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the file.' This pops up every 5 minutes without fail and has done so for almost 6 months. I have no idea which file it's referring to, it just popped up one day. I am a student and this laptop is in the school's system. It's really starting to get on my nerves with online school starting. HELP! Windows cannot access permission pop-up CONSTANTLY 1f12b0cc-79c8-41e4-b7b9-adc9eb348599?upload=true.png

    cannot access file/or permissions

    I have a file i need to run on Windows 7 Home Premium. I get the error message saying "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."

    So I right click and choose Properties to access the permissions but I cannot. In the Security tab I get a message saying, " You do not have permission to view or edit this objects permission settings.".

    Next I boot into the Windows 7 Hidden Administrator Mode - and even with this I get all the same error messages.

    Please help me as I really need to run This file.

    Windows cannot access permission pop-up CONSTANTLY

    Cannot access path, no permission

    Hello cgherman, my name is Irisdiel and I am an independent advisor.

    I suggest you follow the instructions down below and visit the link I have provided for you to follow more solutions in case method 1 doesn't help.

    The causes of your problem may be:

    -You do not have permissions to the file or the file location.

    -The file is on a location that is not currently accessible like a network location or an external drive that is not currently connected to the PC.

    -The file has been moved or deleted.

    -The file or shortcut is corrupt.

    -The file may be blocked by Windows.

    -Your antivirus software may be blocking the file.

    Method 1: Check the permission of the file or folder

    -Right-click the file or folder, and then select Properties.

    -Select the Security tab.

    -Under Group or User names, click your name to see the permissions you have. (The screenshot for this step is listed below).

    -Select Edit, and then select to check the check boxes for the permissions that you need, and then select OK. (The screenshot for this step is listed below).

    Refer to:

    Hope this helps!

    Thank you and good luck,

    Regards- .
