Apps / Software :: How To Get To App Permissions - No Tab Found In Settings

Dec 23, 2013

I accidentally denied permissions to my s camera app and want to change this.

I have looked everywhere for my permissions and even looked online.

Everywhere online says to go to the setting tab and click permissions but there is no tab for permissions.

I have looked all over to see : Charms bar>settings>permissions.

The only options i get when i click settings are: Control panel, personalization, PC info .....

Windows 8 Permissions - How To Disable Security Settings

Aug 16, 2013

The "robust" security settings in Windows 8. I only use my computers at home and have no worries about anyone stealing data. The problem is that when I try to copy, move or delete files I am frequerntly presented with "access denied". Now, before anyone starts ragging on me about the 1000 other posts on permissions, let me say that I have read many of these posts, but the problems persist.

What I want is a foolproof way to disable ALL security settings on Windows 8 in such a way that I will NEVER see that "access denied" message again. I wish to do this for entire hard drives, boot drives as well as data drives.

Windows Apps Folder Permissions

Jan 17, 2013

I was playing with that folder in order to change the icons, so I changed the permissions so it could let me in... now I want to change it as it was before! How do I do it? I saw my name twice as users with permissions, so I deleted one of them but couldn't delete the other.... I still have access to the folder.

Apps / Software :: Metro Apps / Tiles Keep Refreshing To Default Settings?

Jan 8, 2014

Metro Apps/Tiles Keep Refreshing To Default Settings?

I consider myself an advanced user, but I still overlook a lot of things and make mistakes like everyone.

Basically, Windows 8.1's Metro apps and tiles keep refreshing to default settings like it's the first time I've used them or opened them.

When I go to use Skype, it will always ask if it is allowed to use my webcam and microphone. It seems to remember the settings for a while, then forgets them.

I'm assuming this is CCleaner related, but I unchecked all of the settings that correspond to the Metro applications, and this changes nothing.

I'm unsure if I am actually deleting important information Windows needs without knowing. I usually delete logs on top of the usual things to keep my computer clean.

Apps / Software :: All Applications / Settings Gone After Restart

Jan 3, 2014

I have build my Windows 8.1 machine recently. And I have installed multiple applications such as Adobe Acrobat Readers, and MS Office on it.

I have a strange problem happening when I restarted my PC this morning. All application that I installed have completely disappeared. I cant even find them in Control Panel under Programs and Application.

The computer instead of asking me to login using my live account, asked me to login as local user this morning, and when I login again using Live Account, ALL installed APPS are gone and machine went back to out-of-box stage.

Reinstalled windows 2 times and then made a back up image, which I have to keep reverting to because my PC Settings and Windows apps (which I don't even use) will stop opening and display the "This app can't open please refresh" pop up. This is for windows 8.1, I'm assuming that's cool on this site?

Windows 8 Settings And Files Entirely Blank - Apps Fine

Jun 13, 2013

Just recently gotten a new Desktop with Windows 8 pre-installed. I've seen various screenshots and such and tried to google the answer myself but haven't had much luck. When I go to my search (Where you can view apps, settings, files, and such) the settings and files are Entirely blank. Apps seem fine but there's not a single thing in either settings or files. Is this messed up or do I have to manually change something.

Apps / Software :: PC Settings And Windows Store Won't Open?

Jul 31, 2014

I just built a secondary new work computer. Unlike my main rig which I just do a fresh install of 8.1. On this one I put Win 7 then Win 8 pro upgrade, once that's done I upgrade to 8.1 through store. thing is once I upgrade to 8.1 I notice pc settings and store wont open, if I click on them they flash and just return to desktop.

I found this solution here:

All Modern apps fail to start after Windows 8.1 upgrade - Microsoft Community

But it only seems to work on admin account.

I noticed same thing is happening with regular user account and the above fix does not work, in fact when I try and set permissions to system in registry step it mentions I get "Unable to set new owner on packages, access is denied"

Setup Installation :: All Modern Apps Including PC Settings Non-functional

Apr 4, 2014

I upgraded to 8.1 earlier this evening and was greeted by an extremely unpleasant error in that all of my Metro apps have now become non-functional, including the Windows Store and the PC Settings apps.

I have spent the last 2 hours trying numerous solutions to the issue, none of which work. The only remaining option seems to be to try "refreshing" my Laptop, but this is not an option as I do not own any Windows 8.1 Installation media. I used the $15 Windows 7 to Windows 8 upgrade offer a few years back, so I don't even have an original Windows 8 CD.

I also really cannot download an ISO as I am currently on satellite internet, it took me nearly two days to download the 8.1 update so I would rather avoid doing that if possible.

I've checked my file permissions, I've tried all of the Powershell commands suggested here and here, none of it has worked. When I attempt to do the powershell commands I get the following error:

Code: Add-AppxPackage : Deployment failed with HRESULT: 0x80073CFE, The package repository is corrupted.error -1121: Windows cannot process a deployment operation because the package repository database encountered anESENT error. Use the Reset Your PC feature to recover your PC.

[Code] .....

There has to be some way to fix this without formatting/refreshing.

I have Jasc Paint shop Pro installed and when I try to open a picture with it, I don't get it on the list to select from. I have it installed on Program Files (86) and I copied it to Program Files in hopes that it would show up. I'm an ace at this program so prefer to edit my pics with this program.

Apps / Software :: Bing News App Crashes Settings Corrupted

Apr 28, 2014

I have 4 Windows 8.1 systems and the Bing News app crashes after a few seconds to a minute on all four. It used to work fine so obviously, the settings (which are synced by OneDrive) must be corrupted.

Is there any way to clear the app settings? I tried uninstalling, rebooting, installing and that didn't work.

I tried turning off sync on all 4 machines, uninstalling the app, deleting sync data using the web, rebooting, and reinstalling but the settings just come back!

All Metro Settings Crash (Account - Display) Apps Work Fine

Mar 3, 2014

Running Windows 8.1. Have admittedly modified it quite heavily but what I have screwed up.

Pretty much, any apps which have the purple wheel splash screen do not load (presumably crash). Normal windows settings work fine. Windows applications and Metro apps works with no hitches (I have none downloaded but default Music, Games all start with no issues).

Windows 8.1 - ACL Permissions Get Messed Up?

Sep 15, 2014

I just freshly installed Windows 8.1. So here it goes. I use folder redirection for my user profile folders. I'm redirecting the folders

from: C:UsersKevin

to: C:UsersKevin

Before redirecting them though, I copied the exact ACL's (permissions, owner, inheritance, etc.) of the C:Users and C:UsersKevin folder to the D:Users and D:UsersKevin folder, respectively.

I then created the appropriate user folders under D:UsersKevin and did the folder redirection. The problem is that any file/folder inside the D:UsersKevin folder (doesn't matter if it is deep in the child folder as long as the parent is the D:UsersKevin folder) that I "share" the ACL permissions get messed up. When messed up, I mean that if I share the folder to the owner, which is me, the permission that will be under the security tab will ONLY BE ME. It seems that it's breaking the rules of NTFS permissions wherein everything is cumulative.

This does not happen if I do the same in the C:UsersKevin folder or even in the D:Users folder.

Originally, the permissions of the D:UsersKevin are SYSTEM, Administrators, and Kevin with Full Control. That is the exact same ACL for the C:UsersKevin folder.

I tried adding the authenticated users (modify) and users (read & execute) and that seems to solve the problem.

Accounts :: Standard User Permissions?

Sep 8, 2013

I set up my administrator account and standard user account. Both are Live. Alienware Laptop. On the standard account, users can not even run a game (original Fable that requires disk to start up) without it asking for my password. Which is not always convenient seeing as how I work and all. How do I allow standard users to run programs but not make changes to the computer? So far I have not seen any threads about this. I've been going around in circles in control panel searching for anything that would allow me to grant permission permanently but so far I have found nothing.

How To Save To Folders Without Permissions Messages

Sep 9, 2013

I'm on a new laptop running Windows 8 Pro, and I'm running into permission issues. I just created an icon (using Axialis Icon workshop), and tried to save it to a folder which I myself created. But I got this message:

C:Program FilesIconsIN-USEGS.ico
You don't have permission to save in this location.
Contact the administrator to obtain permission.

Would you like to save in the My Pictures folder instead? No, I wouldn't like to save in My Pictures. I never use it. How can I get permission to save to the folder I want? I'm a sole user; I'm a member of administrators; I've tried (unsuccessfully so far) to give myself permission to run all programs without being nagged.

I suspect that taking ownership of the C:Program Files might do the trick, but it seems like an extreme measure. Should I simply follow the steps in Brink's tutorial 'How to Allow or Deny Access Permissions to Users and Groups in Windows 8'?

Security Permissions On Network Folder?

Jan 20, 2014

I have a 1TB HDD connected via the network. 90% of the folders on this drive are fine, but a few were created by previous Windows installs.

I needed to delete the folder but it won't let me do so. I've tried fiddling with the security settings but they wont "stick". See the attached for what I mean.

I can't do anything with this folder. I can rename the folder, but everything inside the folder and the folder itself cannot be removed.

Local HDD Asking For Admin Permissions After Format

Jun 10, 2013

This problem occurs on a local, non-USB HDD.

I recently formatted my computer, installing Windows 8. And I realized one of my HDDs was acting weird. It doesn't allow Chrome to save files, it asks for UAC permissions when I try to delete, move or rename files. I looked it up, decided it was about ownership and permissions. Permissions were already set, full control. But ownership was wrong so I fixed it, rebooted my computer and problem still persists at the moment.

When I right click and go to the properties of a folder, it says "Read only". When I uncheck it and Apply, it "applies" it to the subfolders with a loading bar but it still remains "Read only".

Permissions For Windows 8 Users Assigned From Server

Mar 23, 2014

Is it may orientates how to add permissions for users who log on using the server?

In Windows 7, they were more stricter for example when user want install programs.

Is there a program that such causes can block the installation of programs, or hide the drives on your computer? It can be installed on a server or locally - with indifference.

I heard something about a Microsoft program, which was in the name of "policy", but unfortunately I can not find it.

Another matter. How a computer (model) duplicate to the other 20? For a backup? By the server? I mean, I do not have to install the 19 remaining, but install programs, just as soon as cloned together with all the settings.

Win 8 Inheriting Permissions Causes ACCESS DENIED With Folders

Mar 5, 2012

Manage Permission Inheritance in Windows 8 | VISHY Media on technologies and gadgets

Ever get this message or worse, one that does not have the access button attached? you cannot read it, you cannot look at it and you cannot delete it.

There are even worse issues where the permissions are GREYED OUT and you cannot do anything to them. (see below for a solution)

Windows 8 Consumer Preview has a robust permissions scheme that is more geared towards business users rather than err, consumers. An inherited permission means that Windows 8 set the Permissions on a volume, drive, or folder, that same set of permissions will be applied to all folders underneath it.

The solution is to ENABLE INHERITANCE to the volume drive or folder to gain access:

Another solution is to ADD a group called Everyone and give them full control:

Finally, there will be folders where everything is GREYED out in the permissions tab so it seems to be impossible to make changes. EDIT: Check below to see possible solution!

This REALLY sucks and the only solution I have found is a reg hack called "Take Ownership"

Add "Take Ownership" to Explorer Right-Click Menu in Win 7 or Vista - How-To Geek

Install the reg (right click and install) then right click on the folder or drive and select Take Ownership. That will allow you to go back into permissions and select full read/write controls by users.

Network / Sharing :: File Permissions And Read Only?

Jun 18, 2013

Two user accounts, both administrator level. I have a file in my documents that my wife's account can READ but cannot SAVE. I've gone in through User Accounts and given her account full permissions (full control with all the boxes checked), but it always reverts back to her not being able to save any file in my directory.

FWIW, I have all accounts on a separate D: drive. Only windows 8 and programs are on C:.

Also, Read only status. I see the dot (not a check) when I select properties from "my documents". I remove the dot, task window comes up and all the file names whiz by. Then, I look and ... again, the dot is present.

What is the purpose of the dot vs the check mark. They seem to have the identical effect on sub-directories and files within sub-directories.
