Don't have permission to access folder

aerophil · #1 09-19-2022, 08:43 AM

It is my personal computer. What do I have to do to get permission to access my own files and documents? I have tried different things as suggested in various websites and none of them work. I have Windows 11.

I don't have Windows 11, but this video looks pretty straightforward if you haven't tried it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKH4mv3y4Ns

Best of luck,

I tried that but it is still telling me I don't have access to my file. Do I have to reboot the computer for it to work?

I wouldn't think so if you had an APPLY button to apply the changes, but it never hurts to see if a reboot helps.

I rebooted and it still doesn't let me access some of my Word files.
