How can I Fix Program Files \ WindowsApps?

[TheJedi]

So I wanted to be able to access the WindowsApps folder so I could access a game launcher inside.

 

I took ownership of the folder, and wasn't able to find my launcher. I realised that this was a bad decision.

 

Now whenever I start my machine, I get all these error messages about C:\Program Files \ WindowsApps\e.g Microsoft.SkypeApp

 

The parameter is incorrect.

 

I don't know how to fix this. I know the original owner of the folder was TrustedInstaller, but I am not able to reset the owner. It cannot find TrustedInstaller

 

Can anybody please help?

Yep easy - go to change the owner and in the search box put "NT Service\TrustedInstaller" then check names. This will set it back. Don't forget to add yourself as having r/w ability so you don't lose access to the folder.
