Hello!
I've been searching for hours and hours to find a solution that works for me, but I can't seem to find one despite how many posts there are on the topic, no one has the same problem as me. Programs nor me can write to my drive, and I know its the usual, go to control panel, set yourself as owner on the hard disk, but I am the only admin on this system. I have full permissions to write there but I can't seem to be able to. I remember this starting when I, (stupidly) tinkered with the settings somewhere, and now nothing can write on that drive. Since this is my main storage drive, this is a real issue.
Thanks in advance for any help, and forgive my general lack of knowledge on this! And if you need any more info on my system, let me know!

It wont effect your files.
You can also check the drive for errors (properties, tools)
Check also Hardware, policies.

Checked it for errors and nothing came up, I looked for some restore points because I remember making some just after I updated to 8.1, but they aren't there anymore. Really annoying

Did you check hardware from properties? there is a policies, maybe you uncheck that before.

Right click local disk (C:), click on properties, hardware, highlight disk drive then properties, policies.. theres a Write-caching policy.
