Windows 10: Can't edit exe file permissions

So I wanted to add Mortal Kombat 11: Ultimate bought from Xbox app to Steam, I located the MK11.exe file and tried adding it and got a popup message telling I don't have rights. So, I logged in to Built-In administrator account and tried editing permissions from there, but i couldn't, it was coloured gray and I couldn't click it. The owner of the file's DANVAYZERPC\Administrators, but there's no account named that way.If anyone could help, I'd appreciate it alotEnglish translation

Editing permissions

Hi ejmw,

Issues that you experience when you try to access files and folders may be related to permissions. Permissions are rules that determine whether you can access or change files and folders. To check permissions on a file or a folder, follow these steps:

• Press and hold or right-click the file or folder, and then click Properties.
• Tap or click the Security tab.
• Under Group or user names, tap or click your name to see the permissions that you have.

To change the permissions of a file or folder, follow these steps:

• Press and hold or right-click the file or folder, and then tap or click
  Properties.
• Tap or click the Security tab.
• Under Group or user names, tap or click your name to see the permissions that you have.
• Tap or click Edit, tap or click your name, select the check boxes for the permissions that you must have, and then click
  OK.

Important: You must be logged on as an administrator to change permissions on files and folders.

how to change folder and file permissions in windows 10

Hi David,



Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

• Are you trying to give permission to particular files and folders?

I suggest you to follow the below step and check if it helps.

1. Once you choose the file that you want to give permission, right click on it.
2. Click on properties and go to security tab, check whether any permission have been set.
   
3. After you have viewed the permissions that are already set, you can now click on the Advanced Button that is right below the "Permissions for Authenticated Users"
   
4. Once you have clicked Advanced, a box like this should appear, the "Permission Entries" box, which shows all the permissions that are set for the users. Now, after you have spotted the user whose permissions you wish to change, click "Change Permissions.
5. Click on the user you would like to edit, and then click the option that says "Change Permissions" which is right below the box.
6. Once that is clicked, you are going to get the same box pop up, but this time, you can actually edit the options. You do that by clicking the "Administrators" user again, and this time, you are going to click the "Edit" option.
