    "You don’t have permission to save in this location" on Surface


    When I try to save files via certain apps, I get an error saying I can't save it there and asking whether I'd like to save it in Documents instead but get same error there. This issue is happening on my Microsoft Surface 4 running Windows 11, but does not happen in the same situation on other Windows PCs running Windows 11 nor my MacBook. I'm an admin and the sole account on the PC. The error seems to occur for all the standard folders that appear in This PC, including Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Music, Pictures, Videos. But I'm able to create my own folders and other files e.g. txt in

    :)

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

    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
