Hello I got myself into a little trouble using this script, hopefully you can help, or at the very least some other poor fool(err I mean soul) will be spared.
I was trying to create space on another persons drive so I grabbed their system drive and plugged it into my computer. They had about 50 gigs in C:\Users\UserName\AppData. I couldn't Access it so yes you guessed it "Take Ownership". I had to do this at the UserName level. It ran for like 4 minutes, which is a long time concerning file operations with this computer. This part of the operation was as expected, transferred the files.
When I hooked it back up to the other computer, it said the disk needed to be repaired. I let it go through the operation, rebooted windows, made it to the desktop. First problem, right click on windows start was no longer functional. Second problem, Firefox wouldn't load their profile and could not make any connections citing SEC_ERROR_LIBRARY_FAILURE. They had a couple .png files on the desktop, on attempted viewing, software blamed incorrect permission and failed to load image. Ah yes and who could forget the dreaded com surrogate failures or the myriad AppModel-State Errors E.g.,Failure to load the application settings for package Microsoft.Windows.Photos_8wekyb3d8bbwe. Error Code: -2147024891.
I had them run Take Ownership on the same path I did, this didn't fix the issue's. On the bright side, They could view those .png files by Taking Ownership.
Any Help or Ideas would be highly appreciated.
