TrustedInstaller is a legit Windows component and belongs to Windows Modules Installer. It is also one of the core components of the Windows Resource Protection, included in every version of Windows since Vista.

Although you work as an Administrator in your system, when trying to access, rename, or delete certain files you might stumble upon a message like You require permission from TrustedInstaller to make changes to this folder.

It usually happens when changes affect core Windows files, as a measure to protect the system. But, if you are confident about your action and you know for sure what you are doing, there’s a tweak you can apply to allow you to move forward.

When I press either check names or clicked on okay it shows an error saying "An object (user group or built-in security) with the following name could not be found ":USER:" How can I fix this problem

Very good! Simple and clear explanation. On the Internet there are a lot of alternative options to do the same but they are clumsy, confuse and make a mess on the Operational System.
Thanks for sharing!

I did it and now when I try and rename Sethc it says I need permission from [my pc name]\[my user name] how do I fix it?
Edit: I did it and now it runs command prompt

if you can't find your user try ctrl+shift+esc next u will see 2 people icon, or something simular it will say "users" then copy that user inside the "select user or the group" -random guy

In my opinion, there might be a problem after resetting pc with choosing only one admin on that pc. Shouln't you choose as the owner of this file?

[echt]

Will this get rid of "Destination Folder Access Denied" popups? I've seen solutions online but they all say apply it to one folder. That's ridiculous when you have hundreds or thousands of folders. I want to get rid of these things entirely when I'm moving, copying, editing the registry, etc.

There's something I am missing here. Watched the video twice and paused at each step but it isn't working.
