Why do i need permission from myself to delete and access my OWN files?

i've looked up solutions on microsoft answers and they all tell me to go to virus and protection etc and toggle off controlled folder access. when i try to access this page however via the search bar it says "Your IT administrator has limited access to some areas of this app, and the item you tried to access is not available. Contact the IT helpdesk for more information" why in the heck do i not have access to my own damn apps??

    Hi Ludicrous 22,

    I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    With regards to that Administrator error in Defender:

    1
    Open the Settings App.

    Go to Accounts.

    Select Emails and Accounts, is there is a work or school Email listed there?

    Select Access Work or School, is there is a work or school Email listed there?

    2
    If you have a 3rd party anti-virus installed that will cause that error.

    3
    Of you do not have a Work or school account linked on your PC and no 3rd party anti-virus installed:

    Click your Start Button, then just type cmd

    On the resulting list, right click Command Prompt and select 'run as Administrator'

    Paste each of these commands into Command one at a time and press Enter, wait for each command to complete, before running the next command, if you receive an error on any command, ignore that and continue to the next command.

    reg delete "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies" /f

    reg delete "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost" /f

    reg delete "HKLM\Software\Policies" /f

    reg delete "HKLM\Software\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Policies" /f

    reg delete "HKLM\Software\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies" /f

    reg delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows Defender" /v DisableAntiSpyware

    reg delete "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies" /f

    reg delete "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost" /f

    reg delete "HKCU\Software\Policies" /f

    reg delete "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Policies" /f

    Then, close Command Prompt and restart (not shut down) your PC.
