permissions Permission problems

[Naomi The Shark]

so ever since the windows update that deleted the files of a lot of windows users, i've been having issues with my version of windows removing write permission of my main drive for all users at random. the first time i realized this was when i wanted to move a game i had downloaded on my D: drive to my C: drive. steam gave me a notification saying that the drive had to be writeable. i checked permissions, and saw that for some reason, every single group only had the read, read & execute, and list folder contents permission enabled. i re-enabled the permissions back to how they were, but after a few days, it reset again. this happened thrice as of now to me, and it's getting annoying

So your non admin user doesn't have permissions to C:\? Thats normal and how it should be.

 

Where are the steam games stored? Id make a folder like c:\games and give that permissions for all users and you should be good.

no, literally all groups were blocked, including myself. i have steam itself stored directly on D:\ and i attempted to make a steam library folder through steam itself, and it told me that the permission was denied. tried making it manually, and that also didn't work (C:\Program Files (x86)\SteamApps)
