Unfortunately....... it didn't work. I created a new folder as you suggested, then checked its properties to make sure it didn't have the problem all the other folders have i.e. that it was...
Glad that worked! Unfortunately, when I do that pop ups come up saying that folders can't be accessed so inheritance changes can't be made.
Glad you found that. Unfortunately, in my case when I tried your work around I found that administrators already had all permissions with no limitations. So still the problem continues for me :(
Thanks, I've changed all owners to Jake (me) but nothing has changed. All documents are still read only and can't be saved and new documents automatically become read only and the same pop up comes...
Thanks, these are the images from the advanced tab and I've blocked out the email, so all four are now here.
My user name is Jake as shown in the screen shot Capture and I've shown two of the others. The User one has my email on it, but is the same.
Downloads also has my email on it. I'll send this...
My most recent idea was to reinstall Windows 10 again, but that has not helped. The problem persists. Thanks Ricorp for all your help. Do you or anyone else have any other suggestions?

with spaces as shown
Because it is C: drive that I want to take...
Hi Chris
Dell PC that has been upgraded recently and has worked fine until I upgraded to W10 and got this problem.
One HDD in the computer and one SSD plus an external drive.
I can't save new...
Right, so I can't go back. Still looking for a solution to the problem. I'm finding more 'solutions' on forums that don't work!
Well, I have everything backed up routinely on an external HD, but I don't know if that is the same as a system image
Yes, I've looked at forums. they include all sorts of ideas and lots of failures to solve the problem.
Here are other ways NOT to solve the problem (I've tried them)
1. Revert to Windows 8.1,...
Thanks, I am the owner of all the files and I'm also the administrator on the computer with complete control over all files etc. / except that I no longer have control! I upgraded from Windows 8.1...
I've just installed Windows 10. Now I find I am unable to save documents. A pop up window says contact the administrator for permission. It is a private pc and I am the main user and administrator....
