Read Only Folders
ReefstoneMIDI:
I've tried all of my restores in Safe Mode with no result. There was an additional one, but it appears my restore storage ran out, and seeing as it was the last one, it was deleted. I think that was the only one before the problems started, so I'm likely out of luck. Is there anything else I can do or am I just going to have to reinstall?
Boggin:
Before you do that, can you create another admin account should it be because of a corrupt profile.

Previously I was thinking you would have to do this for each folder to do it manually and had forgot that you can do it en-bloc for C:
Open Windows Explorer - right click on Windows (C) and select Properties.
Under the Security tab click on Advanced - Change Permissions - highlight the User - Edit
In the Applies to dropdown select This folder, subfolders and files then check the box for Full Control - OK

That procedure seems to work on a Win 7 machine but when I checked it on a Win 10 machine, it seems to be different.
A Google search found this article where the procedure is a bit more involved - http://blog.switchfast.com/solved-windows-10-upgrade-changed-all-documents-to-read-only
ReefstoneMIDI:
I tried both, neither method worked for me.
