Attempting to get Win 10 Pro 22H2 to stop asking for Admin Permission for almost everything,

Question

I have a separate Data SSD from my old win 10 desktop in my new Win 10 Pro desktop. Now it asked for admin permission to do almost everything to the files and folders.

I changed the owner to Administrators and checked both check boxes, but it didin't help.

I have fixed this before, but it has been a long time, so I am not seeing what I am missing.

Also Ctrl+Z does not undo a rename or a deletion.
