Fix “You don’t currently have permission to access this folder” Windows 10

Have this issue, which manifested since failed wake from hibernate (first hibernate).
Have tried implementing the add user permissions outlined in this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0in9Pmzp-a4

This hasn't helped me. Have made the Everyone change no problem - not solved. Tried the User option, throws errors re accessing the specific folders contained in the drive.

This is affecting my HDD RAID array (mobo RAID).

Any tips gratefully received

Cheers

W10 - latest

Clean install

Asus Z390-F

1x SSD M.2 Boot
2x SSD 2.5 RAID

2x HDD 3.5 RAID

Hello Niels. I'm Greg, here to help you with this.

1) See here how to add a Handy Take Ownership shortcut on your right click menu, to use in cases like this on files and folders which won't cooperate: https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/3841-add-ta...

When you get to the folder that will not open or flashes permission errors or any blocking message, just right click it to Take Ownership, down to the target file.
