Loosing permission to file after moving it.

[PatheticGamer]

So my problem is that when I move file from one folder to other , I lose permission to that file (For example when I move file from Desktop to any other folder), even tho i am Administrator. The weirdest is that it didn't happen before. Can somebody please help me? P.S. This happens to all kind of files, .exe's, .zip and so on.

Have you got a homegroup set up? I had a problem with permissions last year where i couldn't copy files into my documents folder

1. try setting up a local user account (All settings/Family and other others/add someone else to PC/click I don't have the persons sigh on info to not include a email address/click Add a user without a Microsoft Account/fill in form and click next)

2. copy all your users folders onto it so its got the same access (In c/users),

3. make it an admin so it can access folders (go to control panel/user accounts/now depending which user you logged on as, select change your account type or Manage another user - it will ask for your current admin password to confirm it) and see if same behavior keeps happening? Its easy to do, takes a few minutes max.

If that doesn't help, try running SFC /scannow in a Command prompt with admin rights
it might help.

Hey, did that new user thing, didn't work Could you explain me what exactly SFC /scannow does? I started it but it takes very long time to ''verificate phase.''
P.S. Actually i can move files and folders if i change ownership for that file in Properties>Security, but that's annoying to do each time I move files(which i do quite alot). I googled this stuff it's something called NTFS, and it is possible to fix it trough regedit but I am kinda afraid to ''touch'' registry cause i don't understand how it works.

SFC scannow scans your system files and just checks to make sure they all right. corrupted files can cause problems like this.

Do you have a homegroup? it sort of locks your permissions into place and you don't get asked who owner is.

I wouldn't go into registry unless the person gave exact instructions and you trusted them. You can break windows by messing around in there. There are two places I don't play in, the BIOS and registry. I would only go in there if I had to, and I would consider a reset before it or a reinstall. As if you have to edit registry to get windows to work, you better off starting again... but that is what I would do, just my opinion. Reset and Fresh Install are some things people prefer to avoid as well. The setting up user trick is just a way to avoid it for a while. That didn't work for you though.

How long have you had this problem for?

SFC scan completed, it said that there are no integrity problems detected. When I go to Settings>System>About it shows that i'm in WORKGROUP, even tho this is a home PC. Can't find a way to remove it aswell.

How long have you had this problem for? - Don't really know, about 1-2 months now. At some period I was cleaning my PC from junk and cleaning corrupt registry entries with CCleaner, but only those, which are left after uninstalling programms. Maybe I messed up something then...

Think every win 10 user is in a workgroup... maybe. Look at this link below and see if you are in a homegroup or not.

I use this site as they give clear descriptions, its not an attack on you: http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/how-to-set-up-a-homegroup-network-in-windows-10.html

Even though ccleaner sells itself as a registry cleaner, you should never let it near the registry as it can clean up things you need. I ran it right after a install last year and it deleted an Asus folder which I needed for something (can't remember). Use it to clean everything else but not the registry.

I guess i'm not in Homegroup then. I'll just stick with ''Adding permission'' method which I used before. Anyways, thanks for your help and sorry for taking your time
