Gunner hanna, thank you for the thorough explanation of the problem. But what is the solution?
Windows 11 folder keeps reverting back to read only

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.

2023-11-07T18:35:30+00:00 I have same issue. Folders are marked as read-only and my CAD-software crashes everytime when it trying to save library elements into the folder. Regular projects saving are ok. So it's not just a sandbox issue.
Does it look the following image? If so, that's normal, you will see that on all folders, and your issue is caused by something else.
.
If that's not what you see, please copy and paste a screenshot.

2023-09-13T17:07:53+00:00 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?
