Win11 presents a curious and bothersome issue.
My friend recently update his laptop to win11. And I discover some strange, very strange problem with his system. Problem is with c:\users\Public\Documents folder. No matter how I set permissions, (including disable iheritance) I cannot create folder inside using command prompt. That means all other programs installers who need access to that folder have problems too. And no matter if I'm using command prompt as admin or not. Even icacls reset can't work. There is no info about bad permissions or anything like that. It display info about problem with finding file! I have access to everyone, ownership is proper (I tried many things) and nothing works really. But - what is more important - I can copy everything, create folders etc. using NORMAL Explorer (without even administrator elevation). I can list files, copy files from inside - basically everything, but only using Explorer. I can't save even file from notepad to Public\Documents, even if folder has full permissions for System, Administrators, specific user, everyone and all users. If anyone has that type of problem and know where problem is - I'll be happy for a hint. What I don't need (I want to clarify that) is any type of "please try..." advices. I don't want to try anything, I want to solution from a person who have the same problem and find source of that problem. Real solution (not like "reinstall..." etc.). Thanks.
This situation seems confusing. The folder doesn’t appear to contain any useful data for me, and I’m not sure if there’s a way to access files within it. It looks like the system shows information about the file location but doesn’t actually retrieve the content. If you try opening it manually in Explorer with the right shortcut, you might get a different result depending on the settings.
It was strange behaviour of additional Windows folder protection. And since it's very deep hidden and there is no clear info about it, I must spend really lot of time to find the source of a problem. Thank you for your tries, really, but as I said - I only need advice if someone has the same problem and solve it. I do not need assistance. For curiosity - "problem with finding file" was when I was trying to SAVE file. Nice, right? Thanx!
