Windows 10: How do I change the owner of a system32 back to TrustedInstaller?

I had to change the owner of a system32 file because a troubleshooting guide required me to modify said file. To do that, I changed its owner to "everyone" roughly as described in this post. Unfortunately, I cannot change it back to "TrustedInstaller", as I then get an error message that claims TrustedInstaller, cannot be entered pic.

I cannot change the owner of the " system32 " file back to " Trustedinstaller "

So, i had some problems with my computer and a family member who is good in IT helped me fix it, i had to change the System32 file Owner to myself because i had so change some things in there, but now i cannot change the owner back to " TrustedInstaller ". It says that it cannot be found but when i try to change it to " SYSTEM " it works, i do not know how to fix it or if it is even fixable, please help me if you can.

* Changed to a question

TrustedInstaller is NT SERVICE\TrustedInstaller.

In the Users dialog, use NT SERVICE\TrustedInstaller





Caution: I haven't tried modifying the System32 folder's ownership. However, if you're going to apply the permissions/ownership recursively (to all subfolders and files), it can be risky. I suggest not doing that. If necessary, please take a system image backup of the OS partition before applying permissions to the System32 folder.

 

NT SERVICE/TrustedInstaller - Can't change owner/Error message

Hi F.Grobusch,

It is still displaying with - unable to display current owner. Should it be saying TrustedInstaller.

It seems the files have transferred back under TrustedInstaller. Can't be sure as I can't access the folder and don't want to change anything else.

Thanks
