Every time windows goes up a generation it finds new ways to make life a living hell for its users.

im literally crying my eyes out at how frustrated I am I have all permissions + my account (the only account on the laptop) is an admin and it still wont allow me to replace the stuff in the folder

[IAmNerd]

Add and remove buttons are not working :(

[MrRaydennis]

Every solution I’ve looked up has the first step after properties as click on the security. Which is probably the reason Windows 11 got rid of the security tab, so that we can never solve this again

I can't click the (Add...) button whenever I try to change the permissions of the file for some reason. Please help me.

Security bullshit in Windows drives me crazy. There should be a no-security mode for people who work in a one man office. I'm not in a nuclear missile silo so I don't need all of that extra security.

thank you so much, i'd just started having issues with mine all of a sudden and it was driving me insane, so glad i found your channel!!

Great video, but when I click on the security tab for the folder it says it is unavailable or can't be displayed. How do I fix that?

[mkkovacs]

This did not work for me but I was able to figure out that it was my antivirus preventing me from copying some crack files. After adding an exception to the folder in the antivirus softare the problem was solved. Thought it's weird that I was getting the Access Denied error because of this.

[mtana]

[Zavalas_SMT]
