Problem with icons going white and file access denied issues
I formatted my drive, quickly installed Windows 7 Home with my serial, then instantly upgraded to Windows 10 without using 7 other than to install 10. I am getting really annoying errors. Everytime I try and either rename a icon, or the C drive name then I am told access is denied, I can click continue to make it work but it is annoying. I have the word administrator under my name, so I know I am in the admin account. I am logged in using my hotmail account. Also oddly this doesn't happen to every icon on my dekstop, just some, no idea why, all have been installed around the same time.
Also, some icons keeps going white, I have installed 2 different backup software and the icons are fine at first, but within minutes or upon reboot they turn white. I look in the target folder the EXE's have also turned white. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software multiple times and get the same issue. EDIT : Just noticed, the icons that go white are the ones that I rename and ask for the permission. Icons I rename that don't ask for permission do not go white. The white icons will happen upon reset or refresh. If I do not rename the icons they stay fine.
I have looked in security settings and the admin section has full access with everything ticked. Any ideas what is going on ? I have now just reinstalled everything again so I would hate to have to start from scratch yet again. Thanks for any help. Images attached.
