Windows 10 says I don't have permission to save anything.

Wow Service Release 1, I bet it's a biggy! Seriously I'm rooting for Windows, I tried Apple and don't want to go there again!
I'll wait and see if the Service Release hits my machine...well looking I don't see how to access a record of log of Updates and what got fixed?
Where can I find the list of recent updates to my PC?

I had the same issue and my security permissions kept reverting at logon...It was a OneDrive issue, and I posted a fix here:

Right click on the program icon then select Troubleshoot compatibility . The system will try a fix which usually fails. Clicking next then gives you a set of choices which includes permission issues. Select this and the problem is permanently cleared for that program. You may have to repeat this for several different programs. Hope this helps

1. Right click an affected folder.
2. Click Properties.
3. Click the Security tab
4. Click the "Advanced" button.
5. Click "Change" next to Owner.
6. Type your username, click the "Check Names" button, then click OK.
7. Check "Replace owner on subcontainers and objects" under the owner's name.
8. Click OK again. If you get a message saying "Do you want to replace the directory permissions with permissions granting you full control?", click "Yes" and you're done.
9. Click the "Edit" button.
10. Click on your username from the list.
11. Check "Full control" underneath it.
12. Click OK.
13. Click OK again.

Repeat with all of the problematic folders.

I might be misunderstanding something here - I have thousands of files from my previous Windows Seven existance - you say "Repeat with all of problematic folders"...Is there no global fix for all files in my Documents Folder so that I can open -edit - save them like I used to be able to?

I tried this simple fix and I have to say that the troubleshhoter did it's job fixed the Permissions issues and saved the settings which survived the shut down / start up cycle without issues.

So I updated from Windows 7 had the 29JUL15 Download + the 3 subsequent updates...

All my Office programs that I use were giving me problems (Word, Powerpoint, Excel) - all have been fixed in this way...so actually I have to apologise to MS as they issued Windows 10 with the knowledge that this troubleshooter was in place and could fix program incompatibility...and if the Tech Help folks knew about this it would have saved me many many hours of frustration,despair and annoyance...and if Windows had some sort of walk through for fixing usual glitches when changing from Vista/7/8/8.1 to 10 this would have been very useful too...

No...not them...We are all just left to flounder around to come up with fixes for their glitches on our own and if it were not for this WTF Forum (is that deliberate I wonder?) I'd still be struggling.

Of course, it must save them millions. They should offer an incentive system like free MS for life for each one of these fixes you guys come up with...

Thanks again to r0rwy;359782 if I could give you stars I would a whole constellation for getting me out of this problem when MS with all their helpful friendly techies did nowt! Stay well...

Hi I have ran through everything to make the changes and this has now been done. However I now have a new issue of when saving a document from email, you cannot see the directory, it says "There are no folders in this view".

the editing of admins and user worked for me
