Please read your own post and think about how useful that information is to analyze your problem.

Lots of people here are willing to help but we all need some facts to be able to get an idea what the problem might be.

[scammed]

i cant even make screenshots now, and by the looks of it

the shop swapped my 8 gb ram to 4 gb.

 

what i mean with full access is that if i right click on c/properties/security

permissions for everyone allow the whole pile is checked for allow,

full control modify read and execute etc etc

Have you been scammed?

Try running

chkdsk /f  C:

from the command  prompt.

Maybe this will give you some guidance:

But if your system is so messed up that you need to do that then that doesn't sound good. Maybe permissions for the registry are also wrong and, and, and.

Maybe you should consider setting up a new system from scratch. That will take a little time but then your headache should be over. Trying to "fix" your problem sounds like continuous headache for the future - until you decide to start from scratch.

Sorry for no better news but that's what my experience tells me.

And 4GB obviously also won't help.

chkdsk c: /f

might be the better option ???? 

And make sure you have administrator rights.

 

That does not hurt but I doubt it will fix the problem.

i think the problem is that the owner is trustedinstaller

I think that is the SOP, so not causing your problem.

[andy72]

firstly you dont need an everyone 

 

your the user usually admin also

the less users in that list the better
 

 

the problem may be that you got it all installed in a shop

 

renowned for dodgy programs

i bought a laptop in bkk one time 

it was riddled worse than a 2 dollar hooker with virus programs
that was a format job
it may be that your new hd is that 2 dollar hooker

third party installation..

 

looks like you may need a course of antibiotics

i went to the shop that installed the win 10 pro, they had zero clue on how to change

permission on the OS they had installed.

 

is there anywhere in pattaya where they can change permission ?

[elfpattaya]

Try Wattana Pattayaklang, but they will charge you.

[RichCor]

You have USER and FILE permissions.

Check all the other users (permissions), especially the one you're logged in and using.

why cant i edit ?

because your user or administrator isn't the OWNER

that folder belongs to TrustedInstaller (as it should!)

well, i can change user but i dont dare apply,

im not even sure which user i am,

on my info on user it says

 

ACER

myemail

Administrator

[RichCor]

If your Win10 PC is booting and allowing you to launch most apps then whatever permission issues your running into on a program/game would be specific to that program/game.

 

On my Windows10 my "Program Files (x86)" folder security settings are

 Users (RICHCOR\Users) as Allow for Read & execute; List folder contents; Read

 Administrators (RICHCOR\Administrators) as Allow [everything checked as Allow]

 

You DON'T want to change permissions at the FOLDER level (unless it's a folder you personally created and need to adjust).

 

But do check the FILES permissions on the program/game you're having issues with. 

If all else fails, backup the folder, uninstall, reboot, reinstall.

 

[scammed]

im not even sure if i am logged in as administrator,

i just started a game that require being administrator

for the password to stick, its just that the password doesnt stick.

can anyone confirm if this is indeed the administrator account

or if i were screwed the moment i went to that shop ?

[RichCor]

It says

User name: acer

Account Type: Local Account

Account Type: Administrator

 

You also have the option of running executable/launchable items in 'elevated' privileged mode by right-clicking and selecting "Run as administrator"

so am i god level administrator or just another co-worker with no authority ?

 

and how do i execute the option of running elevated privileged mode ? and where do i right click to select running as administrator

[RichCor]

God Level is something a bit different (and there is a downloadable windows tool to give you that).

 

Hovering over an icon (start menu, desktop, file explorer, etc.) and right-clicking should present you with a context-sensitive menu with an option to "Run as administrator". Also using Shift-Control and double-clicking does the same thing.  Using this option is only recommended when normal user privileges prevent you from completing tasks that require 'elevated' or administrator privilege.

hi, i finally found proof that settles it, i am indeed administrator,

i just cant for the life of me get authority to change program 86

You DON'T want to make ANY privilege/security changes to the "Program Files (x86)" folder itself, else your Windows OS could stop working!!  Not sure WHY you would want to do that.
