Windows 10, maybe an hint on resolving somes problems

Most of us, did get some problems with windower and windows 10.

For most of my games that adds Mods and stuff (i.e : Fallout 4 / Skyrim / Etc...) the mods were unable to work. 
That's because of administration allowance ! 

To disable it, here a smal tutorial (sorry for misanderstanding, my windows is in french i may translate wrongly). 

On Windower Folder, right clic on it, properties > Security > Groups and User: clic on Modify > clic on Add... > clic on Advanced >  clic on search > there must be an "everyone" on the search finder, clic on it, then ok, ok a second time, allow "total control" then ok, finish with ok !


Now, the windower is able to update automatically. 

Another thing after that, to when you change some variables and make it work: 

right clic on windower folder, and unmark the "read only", for all folder included in windower. 

Now, some others addons/plugin should fully work ! 

It happends that GearSwap didn't worked for me until i disabled the "Read Only" !

Hope it'll work for you too. 

By the way directories (a.k.a. folders) are always "read only". It doesnt make sense to write to a directory object directly, and the Windows API doesnt allow it, the only really useful thing that can be done with a directory object is enumerating the files inside it. Because of this Windows will always show directories as read only. Attempting to unset the read only flag doesnt actually do anything, and the next time you check it will be set again. It's just how Windows works.

Well, unchecking read only while playing did help me loading some addons (gearswap/ light luggage,  for exemple). probably i'll have to uncheck it everytime i am playing ?

No, it doesn't do anything, Windows ignores the attempt to change it. You probably changed something else in the process of trying to figure it out.

it could be changing a file that is read-only that should not be read-only because that the only thing that happens when you uncheck the read-only check box

aka when you uncheck the read-only check box on a folder it only removes the read-only flag on the files on the folder

but what files need that the only thing i can think of are the settings files

I can say for sure that Windower doesn't set any file ACLs or flags. If a file really is being set as read only, then something else is doing it.
