If you recently upgraded your operating system to Windows 10, you may encounter an error "You don't have permission to open this file. Contact the owner of the file or an administrator to get permission”When accessing a file or folder. This message means that it is not possible to access / delete / rename files or folders.
So what can be the reason for this mistake? It could be that a user or group was accidentally removed from the "Username or group" list, a specific "Deny" role was added to the group or user by mistake, or it could be because there is a disparity between NTFS and share permissions.
