I'm absolutely going to, thank you for the reminder!

Thanks for all the help everyone. I was able to get it fixed by just editing the security settings of the Local, LocalLow, and Roaming directories withing AppData and making sure inheritance was on....

Windows Server 2003? Would love some second opinions if there are possible options.

I restored all permissions, and all files are accessible, etc. but now I have other issues. This is a nightmare, to say the least. I have been able to get to a point where I boot into my profile, and...

Great, thank you. Those two are correct, I believe the issue is the AppData folder, should that also be owned by Administrators? I had used "Take Ownership" on the AppData folder and that's when my...

Windows 10 Version 21H1

Hello,

I have "Take Ownership" in my right click menu (explained here) and was having an issue with a program that had originated on another profile and had the bright...

I've been getting the same error since installing Windows 10 a couple of days ago. I've waiting patiently in the event it is a server issue, but no luck. Sometimes the error ends in 07 sometimes in...
