  • C:\ Is Not Accessible. Access Is Denied Error In Windows 10/8.1/8 [Tutorial]
    On a computer the following problems appeared after Windows Refresh: Windows 8 Metro apps doesn't load correctly (many apps are missing from the screen) and when you try to access the contents of drive C: the following error appears on the screen "C:\ is not accessible. Access is denied." As a matter of that Windows doesn't work normally and the user cannot access any of his personal files.
    After some research on the Internet I found that this is a common symptom (problem) happening on many laptops after refreshing the Windows Operating System. Also during problem exploration, I discover that while on Safe Mode, I can access the disk contents normally without problems. At this point, I take advantage of this situation and I take a backup of the user's personal files before proceeding to resolve the 'access denied' error on disk C:\.
    This tutorial will apply for computers, laptops, desktops, and tablets running the Windows 10 and Windows 8/8.1 operating systems. Works for all major computer manufactures (Dell, HP, Acer, Asus, Toshiba, Lenovo, Samsung).

    I have a similar issue as this, only worse. I can't use the start menu or open things in administrative mode. I can run cmd but I can't access anything outside of the user folder. I can't run cmd in administrator mode, it says access denied to windows folder. It says it can't show the owner of the disc and thus I can't change it. Very frustrating.
