    Lost permission to access flash drive


    Windows 10 Home ver. 22H2
    Hi
    I have a flash drive that I once used as boot drive for TAILS.
    I then partitioned it to a Basic Data Partition.
    Now, when I try to access it, I'm told that:
    'You don't currently have permission to access this folder. Click continue to permanently get access this folder'.
    then:
    'You have been denied permission to access this folder.' 'To gain access... use the security tab' (link to Security Tab).
    How do I get round this problem?

    You dont say how its formated if its fat32 it doesnt have security if its ntfs you may need to set security to everyone. I would delete all partitions and do it again as primary

    Now that is well weird!
    I just got back & read your comments, so I checked out Disk Management. It's FAT32 Basic Date Partition.
    I then double-clicked on the drive & it's acting normally!!!
    Now I'm even more puzzled.
    I apologize for wasting your time, but I've checked & double-checked & it is the same Flash Drive.
    I feel like a complete idiot now. What could it have been?
