On new clean install, admin account getting access denied to libraries
Please forgive me if I am missing something obvious here. I'm going to claim ignorance based upon the fact that I NEVER run the Home edition of Windows. I'm always running Pro. That's my excuse, and I'm sticking with it.
So here is the situation...
A friend of a friend had his computer crash. Someone helped him get a new clean install of Windows 10 Home (32-bit) 22H2 installed on the system. My friend and I got on a Quick Assist session with him to help him get a number of things setup. We have his computer almost back to full functionality but there is one odd issue that we can't seem to figure out.
His user account is an admin level account and a Microsoft user account. We can get into the documents folder just fine and the rest of the HD is completely accessible, with the exception of the libraries such as videos, pictures, etc. If we try to access those, we get an access is denied error.
Before we monkey with the permissions, I'm just curious to know if anyone knows why on a brand new, clean install, a user with an admin account would not be able to access these libraries right out of the box.
As I noted at the outset, I always use Pro and have never run into this. Is there something specific to the Home edition that might account for this odd behavior?
NOTE: We have already absolutely confirmed that he is an admin.
