    I suppose the EFS encryption certificate and associated private key are outside of the user context where you try to access the WindowsApps folder, otherwise the files would be transparently decrypted as you access them, hence the job may be to find this certificate+key pair.

    Running the certificate manager (MMC snap-in) as admin might help you find it, but I'm doubtful, otherwise it would have worked while you were trying as an admin. In the System user context, maybe... but all this post is just a wild guess.

    I don't know if this will help your situation but when ever Windows tells me "You do not have permission" I have a Live Linux USB made for just such occasions. You can move, add, or delete files and folders with it. I like Linux Mint because it's very similar to Windows but any live distribution will do. It has saved me a lot of headaches.

    Thanxx but I already know that method and yup this method saved me a lot of time too but this time I really don't want to bypass the permission's with type of method

    Plus it won't help you decrypt anything...

    I'm going to try and come back here, but I suppose you could run the command line tool as the System user by creating an interactive scheduled task.

    EDIT : Getting an interactive command line as the System user isn't as easy as it used to be in the past, with no additional tools it's a real pain eventually, but you can download the psexec utility from the sysinternals suite at live.sysinternals.com - / or Windows Sysinternals: Documentation, downloads and additional resources . You then have to type as an administrator : psexec -i -s cmd which should give you a much elevated command prompt.

    Heh, I just edited my previous post with a solution !

    I first tried a scheduled task too, something happens eventually, the command prompt starts but it's connected to the Services session and since Win 7 or 8 it's not possible any more to interact with this session (this can be changed via some registry editing though).

    I tried the old and deprecated at command too, but when I used the /interactive switch it told me that for security reasons the task won't be interactive.

    So as I told in my previous post, the psexec solution seems the best to me.

    I have had this issue were i accidentally moved a folder into the WindowsApps direcotry.
    SOLUTION:
    Reboot while holding down the shift key.
    Choose recovery options and enable safe mode.
    Reboot into safe mode
    You can now access the contents of the folder and cut and paste out of this folder.

    Did you login as the Administrator user by any chance ? I mean the real user, not just a member of the Administrators group. Because I don't think there's anything else that would explain it works in safe mode.
