So do as it says and reboot your computer.

Then click APPLY, then OK.ģ) You should receive a notification saying 'You must restart your computer to off User Account Control'. Double click it (or right-click and choose 'Properties') and change the setting from 'Enabled' to 'Disabled'. Once there, scroll down the right-hand list until you find an entry titled 'User Account Control: Run all administrators in Admin Approval Mode'. On the left-hand side navigate through to: Security Settings -> Local Policies -> Security Options. (This has to be done through the RUN box, as it loads it with Administrative privileges)Ģ) The 'Local Security Policy' window will now open. Really stupid isn't it?ġ) Open the RUN box (WINDOWS KEY + R) and type in ' secpol.msc'. Actually as an Administrator in Windows 10, you're not.Īdministrator accounts are still heavily limited with what you can do - even with your UAC settings on the lowest possible. So what Windows 10 is saying is that I don't have permission to create/edit my files even though in my account settings I am an 'Administrator'. You should also get a very similar error when you try to save or create a new file directly on your main drive (C: in my case). So I tried to change the permissions by right-clicking the folder, going into Properties, then into the Security tab, however most options were set to Full Control, but if I try to edit them, I just kept getting this error message:Īn error occurred while applying security information to:įailed to enumerate objects in the container. I don't have permission to view the images I've just sent to my laptop - even though all the previous images I could. Ok, so the error message is self-explainatory.

Windows Photo Viewer can't open this picture because you don't have the correct permissions to access the file location. and when I open the image in Windows Photo Viewer I get given the following message: Now after upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10, this still works fine. I made a bog standard upload form running on my localhost web server so that whenever I'm on something else or out, I can just upload images straight away. To transfer images to my laptop from any device/laptop that's connected in my house to the WiFi (or if I'm out and about elsewhere and know my external IP) without having to install drivers for Android, Windows Phone, Apple, etc.
