HP OMEN; Windows 10
I just got this laptop. Went through set up using my existing Microsoft account without issue. However, although my profile is by default an admin, I am unable to do much of anything--even creating a new folder--within the C drive without getting some variety of an access denied message. No warnings when creating folders in Documents or Downloads.
1) I was able to download into the Downloads folder the files for an app I wanted to install; however when I attempted to install it into the Program Files folder, I got a message that I did not have permission.
2) I attempted to change the owner of the C drive from TrustedInstaller to me.
>Properties
>Security
>Advanced
> TrustedInstaller > Change
>Advanced
>Find Now
>Selected my name
>OK
>OK
> Check "Replace owner on subcontainers and objects"
> Check "Replace all child object permission entries with inheritable entries from this object"
>Apply
I get:
"Error Applying security"
"An error has occurred while applying security information to:
C:\DumpStack.log.tmp
The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
[Continue] [Cancel]
If it actually is being used by another process, it must be a background process, because nothing else is open.
If I click Continue, it just goes on and on with other files that are currently being used by another process.
If I click Cancel, I get: If you stop the propagation of owner settings, it might lead to an inconsistent state where objects have different settings. If you made a mistake... And then I'm returned back to the point at which I can click Apply.
3) I reset the laptop and went through setup again, but nothing changed.
4) I created local accounts--Standard and Admin. No warnings with Documents or Downloads, but when doing anything under C, with the Standard user, I was prompted to enter my PIN from my default setup account, and under the local Admin, I got the same warnings and prompts that I got under the default setup account.
5) I also tried to just change the permissions for \Users and \Administrators, but I got the same errors.
I don't actually need to change the C drive owner or the owner of anything, actually, but I don't want to have give myself permission for every action and I want to be able to install apps that I need to get on with my work.
Any insight is appreciated.
