i looked at other solutions and none work. my drive is fine, the ransomware file lock is off… i genuinely don’t know what it is. i’ve never had this problem before. every time i uncheck the read only box, it reverts right back to it. anything i can do?
You mentioned ransomware, did you get attacked? Do you use any special antivirus software??
no, nothing is wrong. antivirus says stuff is fine
I haven’t seen properties ever being changed back after I change them manually.
I have no idea. I looked it up, and it looks like a lot of people run into this problem sometimes.
I get it. Windows is full of tiny bugs because they focus more on adding new features than fixing the old ones, just like other big companies. One of my Windows PCs crashes with a BSOD about once a week, and that definitely shouldn’t be happening.
Yeah, the only reason I stick with Windows is because I like to play games, and most of them are only available there. But man, the bugs are crazy. It shouldn’t be this hard to turn off read-only for my files.
Thanks for the info, though! I’m still gonna try to figure it out.
