Windows 10: Windows security said I needed permission from my IT to make changes but I'm on my home...

Today when I opened up my PC it says my real-time protection was off so I checked it out and it said I can't make changes without an IT for a split second but then I could change the settings. I got a remote access trojan a couple weeks ago but I'm sure I got that off. I checked the group policies and also reset them. Also in startup I saw a app called "Windows Security Notification Icon" and I believe I have never seen that app before but it also says the publisher is Microsoft Corporation so could I be mistaken?

How to change security permissions on multiple photos?

Hi



Welcome to Microsoft community.



It sounds like you are encountering difficulty changing the security permissions for individual photos within folders on your old laptop. Here's a method to change the permissions for multiple files at once:

1. Take Ownership of the Entire Photo Folder:
   
   • Right-click on the folder containing the photos and select "Properties."
     
   • Go to the "Security" tab and click on "Advanced."
     
   • Click on "Change" next to the owner's name and type your username in the box, then click "Check Names" and "OK."
     
   • Check the box that says "Replace owner on subcontainers and objects" and click "Apply" and then "OK."
     
2. Change Permissions for the Entire Folder:
   
   • Go back to the "Security" tab in the folder's properties and click "Edit."
     
   • Select your user account from the list and click "Edit."
     
   • Check the box that says "Full Control" and click "Apply" and then "OK."
     
3. Apply Permissions to All Files and Subfolders:
   
   • Once you have taken ownership and changed the permissions for the entire folder, you can apply these changes to all files and subfolders within it.
     
   • Go back to the "Security" tab and click "Advanced."
     
   • Check the box that says "Replace all child object permission entries with inheritable permission entries from this object" and click "Apply" and then "OK."
     

By following these steps, you should be able to take ownership of the entire photo folder, change the permissions for the folder and its contents, and ensure that you have access to all the photos within it.

Please note that changing security permissions can have implications for the security and privacy of your files, so exercise caution and ensure that you are comfortable with the changes you are making.

No permissions

Hi,

I would suggest you to right click on the user's folder for your profile and check if the permissions shows as "read only'. If this is the case, it might be causing the issue. In this case, I would suggest you to go to C:\User folder, right click on the
folder with your username and follow these steps:

• Open the properties of the main user profile folder where the files are located (such as Documents, Pictures, etc).
  
• Go to the Security tab and click Advanced.
• Check the box at the bottom of this window. It is labeled "Replace all child object permissions with inheritable permissions from this object" and then click Ok.
  

This does a one-time action that replaces the security on all the files/subfolders. It’s one-time, so you won’t find that box checked if you peek at it later. Try these steps and let us know the results for further assistance.
