Unable to Access Files Unless New Folder Created
Hello. I have been having problems with my file access lately. There are times when I create a folder and place files in the folder. After a while, the files become inaccessible. When I try to access the file, the program opening the file states that I don't have the correct permissions to access the file. I have a Take Ownership program that I used and it states that I (the administrator) have full control on the security tab under properties. I have seen this problem with MOV files, JPG files, GIF files. Even the icons appear to be affected.
Now the weirder part. When I copy all the files and paste them to a new folder, it works just fine again for a while and I am able the access my files again. Sometimes, I lose the access all over again.
I wanted to use SpinRite to analyze my hard drive, but it doesn't seem to work well with my computer.
I have a Dell 8900 XPS running the latest version of Windows 10.
Thanks for the help.
