    files reverting to read only?


    I keep having a problem where my game files are set to read-only and I can't save, when I try to stop the files from being read only throuth the normal means just deselecting the option it will revert to being read only as soon as I exit the tab. How do I solve this?

  3. Problem with 4500MHD to read Sony .mts files

    Hello,

    Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community. I am glad to assist you on this.

    • Which player are you using?
    • Did you try to play the same video's using different player?
    I suggest you to try the steps below and check if it helps.

    Step 1:

    Install all the Windows updates including optional updates and check if it works.

    Step 2:

    I would suggest you to update the video driver from the device manager and check if it helps.

    • Press Windows + X and select device manager.
    • Expand display adapter and right click on installed driver and click on update.
    Step 3:
    If doesn't work, I would suggest you to install the latest available drivers on manufacturer's website in compatibility mode and check.

    Follow the steps below on how to install driver in compatibility mode:

    1. Download the driver from the manufacturer’s website and save it on your local disk.

    2. Right click on the setup file of the driver and select “Properties”.

    3. Select “Compatibility” Tab.

    4. Place a check mark next to “Run this program in Compatibility mode” and select operating system from the drop down list.

    5. Let the driver install and then check the functionality.

    Hope this information helps. Reply to the post with updated status of the issue so that we can assist you further.

    Folder Reverting to Read Only

    I have two drives. My C drive and my D drive. I use my D drive as an external hard drive, but it's internal. My C drive is an SSD and my D drive is an HDD. My SSD is too small, so everything large goes on the HDD. Every folder in my HDD is read-only. I right click the folder and go into properties and take it off read-only and apply the changes, when I go back into properties the folder in question is back on read-only. I have googled this problem multiple times. So all of the basic things that I can try, have been tried. I'll list them below.

    Both CMD with Admin Privileges
    attrib -r +s drive:\<path>\<foldername>

    attrib -r -s drive:\<path>\<foldername>

    Example Images: Not my system, the images are examples but I did the aforementioned and still no result.

    CMD with Full Admin Privileges

    attrib -r "full path of folder\*" /s /d

    Powershell: With full Admin Privileges

    Get-ChildItem -Path "full path of file with extension" -Recurse -File | % { $_.IsReadOnly=$False }


    If there is anything else that I can try to get these folders off Read-Only. Please give me a detailed set of instructions that even a layman like myself can understand. Thanks in advance!
