Windows 10: You don’t have permission to save in this location ERROR

Hi team,


Good day!


Just last night, I have completely formatted my laptop. It was Windows 10 at first, and when I was prompted, I toggled "Yes" when asked if I would like to download and re-install Windows. Now, the problem is when I opened my computer again and was going to download chrome and save it to Local Disk C: > Program Files even the Program Files x86 has the same problem it gives me the error above which states "You don't have permission to save in this location. Contact the administrator to obtain permission." But this is my computer and I'm the only one using this.





Now, I've looked up online and tried the suggestions or "fix" steps but none of it works.










Options are greyed out, and there's literally no way for me to edit privacy settings of the folders. And these weren't there before the formatting. And it was just Windows 10 before not Windows 10 Pro.








No other users, just me. Please help.


How can I get the settings back to the way it was before wherein I don't get that error whenever I save files in ANY folders or location. Please, thank you in advance.



Best regards,


Yean A.

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

Thanks, these are the images from the advanced tab and I've blocked out the email, so all four are now here.

 

Network Error Message when saving files in Office Programs

@bro67 – Partial success today. Thanks for hanging in there with me. I decided that before I use the tools you suggested, I would try to uninstall and reinstall Office once more.

This time Word now works properly when saving a file, at least the error isn’t kicked. However, if I try to browse one of the Save locations in the options menu the same error occurs. I have left them they way right now.

However, Excel throws a fit immediately when saving a file. I don’t have time today to try your tools suggestions but will look into it tomorrow.

Thanks

 

You Don't Have Permission to Save to This Location

I am trying to save an XML sitmap from the program Screaming Frog (SEO software). However, when I try to save to my desktop, I get an error that reads:

You don't have permission to save in this location. Contact the administrator to obtain permission. Would you like to save in the Documents folder instead?

Here's the issue... I am set as an administrator on this computer. It's my personal computer and I've double checked as well. Second, when it takes me to the document folder to save, I get the exact same error. I've tried many of the suggestions on the forums
already and had no luck.
