    Correct ACL / Permissions for C:\DRIVERS?


    My Lenovo X230T running Windows 10 21H2 (Build 19044.1706) has a folder C:\DRIVERS which apparently contains only unpacked Intel driver installation files. I inadvertently deleted the contents, but was able to restore them from a backup. However, the backup doesn't support full ACLS information. I am concerned that the restored files could pose a security risk if the permissions are not correct. How can I ensure the correct permissions?

    Hi,

    Since you have not deleted the folder, you have not modified it's current security and all files you restored got it applied the same way it was before.

    C:\DRIVERS is not a system folder but a temporary place Intel used to extract drivers in your machine...

    In fact you could delete it with no impact at all.
