SSD Read Only ?!

[Tobias S.]

SSD Shows if i wanna install a game from steam that it cant write onto C  (the ssd), shows  this message: new steam library folder must be writable  .   Even though if i open ap diskpart, select the ssd and show the deatils it shows it isnt read only? waht can i do without formating the ssd or losing any files, the ssd is my boot ssd, so i have win 10 on it and bitdefender.

Check the permissions of the folder. Instructions on how to do so can be found at https://protechguides.com/how-to-check-folder-permissions-on-windows/. I believe the folder where the library is on the C:\ drive by default is C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps.

 

Just make sure your account has write permissions.

It's because by default everything that lives in C:\Program Files (x86) blocks write access for normal user accounts as a security measure. You can override this but it's highly not recommended.
