Answer 2

Hello

Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

You need to take the folder ownership first:

• Open Command Prompt as an administrator.
• Use the following command to take ownership of the folder:

takeown /f "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\microsoft.windows.photos_2024.11100.16009.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe" /r /d y

• Then, grant yourself full control with:

icacls "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\microsoft.windows.photos_2024.11100.16009.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe" /grant %username%:F /t

After taking ownership and granting permissions, you should be able to replace the libcrypto-3-x64.dll file with the new version.

I hope the information above is helpful.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to let us know.
