    Hello. maybe this steps can solve you problem.

    Note: You need to check your desktop username. Click "System C:\Users. (Your desktop name will apear as first folder name)

    1. First, right click any folder and click "Properties".
    2. Next, Click "Security Tab" and click Advanced.
    3. Then, Click "Add" Button (located over "Disable Inheritance" Button)
    4. Next, Click "Select a Principal".
    5. On the empty box, write your desktop name. then click OK.
    6. On basic permision. Check Full Control. then click OK.
    7. After all, click apply. and done, edit button now will appear on your Security Tab.

    *If edit button only appear on specific folder, you can repeat this on another folder.

    :)

    I did what you said and it said access denied

    Hello SamLeGgamer,

    My name is Nada, I'm sorry that you are experiencing this issue, and I will try my best to assist you.

    Please share the details about your Windows version, you can press your keyboard Windows+R buttons and a dialogue box will appear, type there WINVER and give the details

    Also, you can try to go to the security tab and press advance and take permissions for your user for ownership.

    Try updating Windows to the latest security patches.

    Another option is you can try to log in via Administrator and check if you have an Edit option in that login. from there, you can assign permission/ownership to your username. feel free to ask anything :)

    Hope it helps you. Please let me know if you still need further assistance.

    Regards,
