How to reset Windows permissions
Is there a procedure, a utility, perhaps a built-in command that will
reset all Windows system file and directory permissions to their default values? I'm asking because I've seen some strange behavior recently on one of two Win 10 systems I use. I have a Creative Cloud subscription. There is an app that oversees everything - updates individual apps, for example, and offers links to Adobe fonts, stock images, etc. All is well -except- that the Creative Cloud app itself fails its own updates with an error code that indicates improper permissions - doesn't tell me which ones, just that something's wrong. I've seen some other strange behavior which I could attribute to permissions problems too. I've found lots of Google info on how to set permissions for my own stuff, but not for Windows' own files & directories --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus |

It will work in Win10 according to other posts I've read but I've not used it myself. There are probably other tools that are a bit more friendly to use but this is a Microsoft tool... so it should work - right...;-) -- Bob S. |
