"Network Error" Windows cannot access\\*domain-server name*\users\*directory name*\folder - "No permission to access:" & "Error applying security. Failed to enumerate objects. Access denied"

Question

Getting *"Network Error" Windows cannot access\*domain-server name*\users\directory name*\folder You do not have permission to access:; In my directory, I can access some folders, both as a user, and most as an administrator. But not all in either. In two folders where I can access one but not the other as a user, the sharing/permission settings are identical. I can access both as an administrator. What I do notice, when I am logged in as a user, I cannot see the file size in the "general" properties tab for the folder I cannot open. Seems to be a "read" permission issue. I tried to change the owner of the folders I cannot see, but when I do; I get "Error applying security. Failed to enumerate objects in the container. Access denied"

For many years as a Windows user, I could just copy the configurations of any working Windows computer to that of one that wasn't, and it would almost always work. However, on this issue, I am being blocked from imitating the permissions and allowing them to take place.

I have read others with a similar issue than this, but not this exact issue. The fixes that are listed don't seem to cover this particular problem. And like others, I have hundreds of individual files in these folders. A one at a time correction is not feasible.

This is a Windows 10 workstation. If any of you need more details, I will try to provide if you answer.
