We get a lot of requests regarding changing file and folder permissions. For System files the process is a little bit different but changes can still be done. We do not advise such changes as they can cause system problems, but in certain circumstances it is necessary.

Hello, we get quite a few requests regarding the permissions on files and folders and things the right out and not changeable, especially this will happen generally when it's a folder that is either a system folder or folder or file that is owned by E. Shall we say another user or the trusted solar system et cetera okay, and let's take an example. As we got a request for the system32, which is in the windows directory. Okay, how we actually change the permissions because of really click change permissions. It just goes all grey and that's the end of okay. The simple answer is you action to change the owner 1st to yourself. If you don't know your username go over there and then type in power shell okay and then run it are those admin right click and then run as administrator and then that'll bring up this window and then just type exactly what we have dollar EMV: username okay ours as windows into like I am so basically, there. However, this has to be very, very temporarily done. Okay, so windows ninja check names to find us. Okay, now he was trusted installer before okay to launch do not, shall we say, keep it as windows ninja or your own username okay will cause a lot of problems because most of the system folders and files need to be in the original owner like. However, for whatever reason, it is a temporary change that needs to be done. Okay, click on that click apply. Okay, ill go through all of them. Okay, and when that completes, hopefully presented. Okay, that's fine. Click okay. Basically what it says is you need to close these windows down and then you can open up against okay, now if I want okay, I can change permissions, I can enable inheritance disable inheritance. It's all there. Okay, and let's for example, take the present solar and it is the permissions can be changed okay now. The key thing that you must remember okay. It's tidying up before you finish. Okay, you know. Wanna restart your computer with your username is owner on especially system32 folder again, props before you shut down. Okay, make sure you go back and for the thousand dollars NT space service and is\trusted five and click okay. Once again, replace owner on all the contents apply okay will take roughly by the same time as before okay saying you need to restart the bit okay, and if you see us back to the original way what's. Thanks for watching

Good to hear!
Thanks for sharing this, very clearly explained, at my office a small desktop which also shares a folder for everyone on the network to store their work recently got such permission errors. No one remembers what was earlier username, they formated Windows drive and reinstalled OS, Now that folder wont let network users read most of the files. I fixed a few folders but it was just a wild guess to take ownership of the files. Will find the actual user using your shared command and try to fix this tomorrow.
I changed from Trusted Installer to "my username". However when I enter system 32 folder and attempt to change a file, it tells me I require permission from "my username". I am on my username account so I don't understand what the problem is. Any help?
there is any way to change the permissions without changing ownership??? maybe trought powershell or cmd??? i would like to give permissions to administrator group without changing any ownership
I changed permission back to Trustedinstaller however i am still able to access the WindowsApps folder?
Ive tried to replace a d3d9.dll file in my windows folder but now I cant open any program
When I click own and hit change. it shows literally nothing afterward as if there's no users on the computer.
Great tutorial! Short but on point. Thanks a lot.
Even after granting full access to all users, i'm still not being able to change files in system32. Please help.

you are applying permission changes to a Windows system files entire folder(s) - this will cause errors and can make your Windows 10 stop working or have intermittent problems! Permission changes should only be done on files/folders that you are fully knowledgeable about and only if really necessary!

serch for our video on resetting permissions.
Hi Thanks for your video and tutorial I still have some questions During changing to trustedinstaller I had to click few times continue because it showed me "an error occurred while applying security information to: C\..\.... Failed to enumerate objects in the container. Access is denied". Usually those were files from Malwarebytes which I have in Program Files (86) and in ProgramData containing some files or data from the same program and some other but I clicked continue and don't remember the name. My problem is that I have sometimes problem to get to some files, sometimes with access to save something - just few times, and the problems started after recent update of win10. Really there were some issues before but now it staring to bother me because the main problem is that my computer starts veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery slowly sometimes doesn't and I have to force it to close and start again. I found that even usb from printer I have to disconnect as this also influences start. I'm not a big comp gig I was just reading and done few things in comp but now I'm stuck. If you can please help me to understand how I can fix it, I can follow the instructions but I'm not sure how and where to find what is going on? If you need any screen shots of my system or anything let me know I would appreciate any help

If you have applied trusted installer to the entire C drive your windows system will not work properly as there are millions of files that will have many different principals (users/owners). You could try to reset permissions - we have a video on that.kzread.info/dash/bejne/mIh7tZWdYczAfdo.html However, you might find a clean install to be the best option if you have too many programs and data to replace then... instead of install upgrade (it is called upgrade but it just replaces to current version). Use the latest Windows 10 DVD/USB/ISO for that.

So I recently installed my old harddrive into my new pc and ran games off the old harddrive, but I noticed that none of the save files were being accessed because they are all in the old drive"s documents. I was able to acces them after doing this method but would it be safe to copy and paste them into my new drive''s documents with these security settings? or do I need to reset ownership? and if so won't that make the files inaccesable again?

Also, there will be un-clickable areas but just skip that and continue doing what he does then go back to that once you've added yourself as a user.
