I have tried CMD checks and fixes. Done a clean boot. Have installed take ownership plug-in. Changed controlled folder access which was set to off. I have replaced the folder with a newly created one and copied the files back into the new one and it has the same issue as the old folder. The folder that is affected is C:\Users\USER\Appdata\Roaming\Vortex\downloads.
I need this folder to not be read only as Vortex cannot function with the folder permissions as they are.

Tried the instructions, but...
"Ransomware protection" does not exist under my "Virus & threat protection" option. I've looked at most of the options in the Virus&Threat protection and cannot find a Ransomware option selection. I still need to remove the read-only setting for one of the folders in C: drive

why i cant change read only for my folders, i think windows 11 is bad, in windows 10 i never had problems like this
That folder "read-only" status is the same on Windows 10 and Windows 11. Whatever issues you're encountering have nothing to do with that.
What problems are you actually having?

Are you referring to this?:
If so, that's perfectly normal, meaningless, and has always been that way in Windows (at least since Windows 7). This will not cause any issues. If "Vortex cannot function" then, it's for a different reason.
More details here.
Thank you so much I really appreciate it.
