So last week I got a Windows notification that my PC wasn't running optimally. Thinking this was maybe some sort of scam or advertisement from the website I was on (pcgamer.com), I went to the Windows 10 notifications tab and sure enough it was from windows. The solution was doing a refresh (while keeping current files and folders). So I did just that. >> Fast forward 20 minutes, now I don't have permission to view my files and folder.

I contacted Windows support and they told me I would have to pay $169 cdn to solve this issue. After about 10-15 minutes of me cursing up at storm and calling Windows employees "a bunch of fucking piece of shit con artists" because it was their software that fucked up my computer/files, I still can't access my files.

 

Anyone know another way around this to fix it?

 

Thanks.

See if what DEEJAY posted helped you. You may have to take ownership of the folder first before changing permissions.
