| 1486276 | 2022-05-15 10:07:00 | Just discovered that I have no permission to save in this location: " ... You don't have permission to save in this location. Contact the administrator to obtain permission. Would you like to save in the Documents folder instead?" How do I get Win11 to allow me? I am the Administrator. It's my computer and I installed Win11 on this PC. |

| 1486277 | 2022-05-15 20:20:00 | Bit more info -- What folder & Where ? Windows 11 is the whole OS, doesn't have a single folder called as such. Some folders are system folders and are protected for a reason, (Usually hidden). |

| 1486278 | 2022-05-15 21:04:00 | Just adding to above: Depending on what folder you are trying to access its because you don't have permission. The following link is for Windows 10 but its the same in Windows 11 www.partitionwizard.com Similar answers, basically skip to Solution 3, AND Solution 9 Seen that a few times as well esp if using something like Avast :yuck: www.thecpuguide.com |

| 1486279 | 2022-05-15 22:22:00 | It's my data/documents folder, different physical disk drive from the System drive. I disconnected all other disks (2 nos) before installing Win11 and reconnected them after the installation was completed. It stores all my previous data/documents, music files, etc., I have this drive years ago before upgraded to Win11 recently. I can read all the files, no problem, but can't write anything to it. |

Run a chkdsk /f on that drive (from cmd prompt) |
