    When I go to the security section of the properties of the folder, it keeps saying "The requested security information is either unavailable or can't be displayed"

    that last "replace child permission entries" check box is what finally fixed it for me, thanks!

      You actually need to add your user using the add button select full permissions in the add button for that user and it should let you open the file.

    in security need permission to read but I can't change because access denied and i'm administrator

    Didn't work. Access is denied when I try to apply the new permissions. What then?

  • @teamall9205
    @teamall9205 3 года назад +1

    I did this, but windows says on properties that I have full access, I did everything you said but it didn't work

    windows defender can also cause this issue, sometimes the defender falsely says a file is malware or a virus and it wont let you open the file or extract it so if your sure its not a virus then just turn off all the windows defender settings, run the file and then turn it back on when your done.

    I'm set as admin but security says "The requested security information is either unavailable or can't be displayed." So what do I do?

    This still won't allow you to change windows files, or files for windows store apps

    Thank you so much because I didn't wait 4 hours for steam unlocked to download my file to be locked out of it.

  • @TsukiKageTora
    @TsukiKageTora 6 лет назад +5

    my problem is that I can't delete the file I NEED to delete and the fact that I am the administrator/owner with full access to it means nothing. I still can't delete it.

      add it to a zip via winrar and select option delete after zip ... folder will be deleted

  • @AvangerTR

    To people who this method don't work:
    Restart the computer and keep pressing F8 while it's in black screen,
    Select start in Safe mode
    Go to folder which you want to delete
    Delete the folder
    Restart the computer again.

    my problem is that all of my documents folder is giving a access denied when moving files and trying to change permissions plus the read only keeps resetting back into being checked

    Do u know wats better than having access denied in a personal folder? HAVING IT IN A SYSTEM FOLDER
    after some fiddling with WindowsApps (wanted to see some ms store apps), I somehow messed the permitions up and I can't even login now...

    Did I hear this guy correctly? Did he really say "Today we're gonna take a quick look at how to fix access denied folder errors using *any* Windows operating system"? Ok, I am running a Windows NT operating system on one of my computers. It is networked to my other computer which is running Ubuntu Linux 18.04.5. Its really cool the way I can reach into my Windows NT computer (from my Linux computer) to copy files and folders to my Windows NT machine or from that machine. But I keep forgetting that this problem keeps coming up where something goes wrong and files on my Windows NT computer become unavailable. Like when I double-click on a text file I get the little popup-box which states "Access is denied". And I can't even delete the damn thing, even if I go at it using the command prompt. Also because access is denied. Now I would think considering this operating system is so old that there is something relatively easy I could do to correct this, like going into the registry and making some adjustment there. But I have no idea where to look in the registry to do such a thing. Well, I just tried doing a search on one of the locked-up files' names within regedit and it didn't find one single match. So I guess that can't be where the info that makes it inaccessible is stored, sigh!

    I want a system wide solution, not just specific folders. Is this a system wide solution? I got the impression it isn't? I was seeking a solution to why my Win10 tin can suddenly doesn't go into sleep mode and was referred to a cmd prompt solution and there I was denied further access, which led me out on another win-10-quest, to seek an understanding to why I'm a crippled admin when I use Win10. #frustrationlevel10
