Set filter to the folder used for downloading and check what errors occur.
Cannot change Read-Only attribute in any folders.
I am an admin and only user of my PC Win 10 10.0.19045 Build 19045
I tried to remove the Read Only attribute of the Download folder or Program Files folder and none would work. It would always revert back to Read-Only. For that reason, I am unable to install a software.
I have tried all that is explained in this web-page and nothing worked:
https://blog.pcrisk.com/windows/13392-how-to-fix-folders-reverting-to-read-only-on-windows-10
I don't know what to try anymore.
I have Full Control under the Security tab in Properties, yet, every time I remove the Read-Only option, when I click apply, it start a pop up windows like this :
In the end I close it and when I open back the properties, it is back to Read Only Box checked again.
I honestly don't know what to do anymore.
All the DISM.exe and the SFC scanNow were clean and not a single error was detected.
What's wrong ?
Please help.
