Hi :) There was a Win 10 update that messed up the permissions in one of the places i volunteer at.
I have no idea how to fix it. I think we went through each individual folder to reset the permissions but that sounds like a very inefficient and highly error-prone way of trying to fix it generally. Still, 'everyone' loves Windows.
