Windows 10: Access is denied on the Start Menu folder in the Program Data

I'm trying to install an app but it doesn't push through or complete because of the error below. I'm already an admin and have full control on that directory. Even just adding a folder on the smart Menu, will not allow me. I'm on the administrators group and already change the owner of the file but no luck.

Files missing from "Start Menu" "All Programs"

RE: WINDOWS 7 ULTIMATE 32bit, Files missing from "Start Menu" "All Programs" list.

I have several "start menu" programs missing in my "all programs" list. One of the missing entries is the "accessories" folder and all related files.

As far as I can tell all of the missing files are on the system and they can be found by using the "start menu search" facility. This problem is occurring with other users but I can not find a solution which works to get things back the way they were after installing the OS.

I am seeing the missing apps and other items at this location in iexplore.exe %allusersprofile%\Start Menu\Programs .

Everything I have tried to get these items back into my "start menu" "all programs" list has been met with failure except creating a shortcut. A shortcut is not the real fix as it leaves two entries in the folder.

When I right click on the highlighted "all Programs" box, in the start menu, a small options list pops up, if "open all users" is selected a new window pops up. Inside that window I can click on the programs folder where I can see the missing entries that should appear on my "all programs" list plus those which I presently see on my "all programs" list together in a single directory listing.

How can I get the above directory list of programs back into the "start menu" "all programs" area so I do not have to go through this extra window and select the programs folder to locate what I wish to run?

I also noticed my accessories folder has a lock on it while I am in the primary user administrator account. If you know how to get rid of the lock it would be helpful however I can find that information when I get a chance to look up the answer?

I noticed some hidden (first tier) folders on the C: drive which I made visible while leaving protection on the OS folders. I can now see these folders in an iexplore.exe directory listing. This did not fix the problem in the "all programs" file selection list and I do not remember if this folder was hidden when the OS was installed.

When I opened up the system to allow a login directly into the Administrator account everything shows up the same as it did when the OS installed along with all other programs installed afterward.

After some progress I am still here *Bang Head :banghead: and slowly getting closer to an answer. Can anyone help me get there a little faster?

 

"Access denied" on folders after upgrade to Windows 10

I recently upgraded to Win 10 from Win 8.1. I am the only user on the computer and I am an administrator. I am getting an "access denied" error when I try to view several folders. Although there are only a couple I wanted to view, I checked them all to determine
how extensive the problem was. Access is denied to the following folders:

USER\APP DATA\LOCAL\APPLICATION DATA

USER\APP DATA\LOCAL\TEMPORARY INTERNET FILES

USER\APPLICATION DATA

USER\LOCAL SETTINGS

USER\MY DOCUMENTS

USER\NETHOOD

USER\PRINTHOOD

USER\SENDTO

USER\START MENU

USER\TEMPLATES

WINDOWS8_OS\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS

WINDOWS8_OS\PERFLOGS

WINDOWS8_OS\\RECOVERY

WINDOWS8_OS\SYSTEM VOLUME INFORMATION

When I check COMPUTER MANAGEMENT>LOCAL USERS AND GROUPS\USERS, I find that I'm listed as an administrator with permissions. When I right click on any of these folders, and go to Properties, I'm listed as having full control of the folder. Out of curiosity,
I tried denying permission to view the folder, and I got the dreaded "access denied" message again. I've tried various suggestions found in this forum to no avail. (http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...t/2aed6083-b986-4423-90bb-986749bc236b?page=2
Windows 8: Take Ownership Of Files & Change Folder Permissions )

I'm almost certain that the solution to this problem does not ln modifying anything via the context menu for each folder because every variation on making changes there has resulted in this error message:

Error Applying Security

An error occurred while applying security information to:

C:\Users\Username\Cookies

Failed to enumerate objects in the container. Access is denied.

I'm exasperated. Any good suggestions?
