I went back to the file and, on the second attempt, it opened (to reveal that it was empty). In this state of not being able to open the folder, each of the types (such as Administrator or User) is greyed out and not seeming to be able to be changed at all but only viewed to see that some boxes are ticked to show that you should be allowed to access the folder!Īfter trying all of the other methods, I went to the second tab, 'Auditing', pressed 'Continue' when it said that I must be an administrator, selected 'Add' above an empty box, another window came up that had one available option at the top (in blue) to 'Select a principal', clicked that, pressed 'Advanced' on the next window, pressed 'Find Now' on the next window (phew!) and selected Administrators in the presented list and, when I went back to the Permissions tab, I was able to change the Administrators check boxes to be allowed to have Full Control as well as all of the other types on the list now being editable.
Under Properties of the folder (WindowsApps), clicking the Security tab and clicking 'Advanced', there are three tabs. This isn't so much a question as describing as to how I was able to access a folder that it said that I couldn't open, couldn't delete and couldn't rename (and with security badges everywhere) because I didn't have the authority despite being the administrator (no processes seeming to be running in the background associated with it). Many solutions were given back in the thread from Hsienz ( Access Control Entry is Corrupt) on 8 October 2016 but none of them worked for me, or at least I may not have fully understood how to implement them. This weird error message appeared in the Permission Entry window (only for Users, but all of the other choices were greyed out and unresponsive) after following the prompts to try to allow access to this folder: This is the error that I received after trying to open a WindowsApps folder in the D: drive in a recently-new computer (that previously only had personal files like pictures) that was freshly written there from a PC reset to completely restore Windows instead of being on the C: drive.
