The "bootrec/fixboot access denied" message in Windows 10 often challenges users on how to fix the error. Let's analyze the reasons and sequence of actions.
The appearance of a message like "bootrec / fixboot access denied" appears, most often due to incorrect actions of the users themselves. For example, when trying to resize a disk. However, sometimes this error appears after a system update or virus exposure.
Denied access to bootrec/fixboot means that the boot record is corrupted. There can be many reasons for this damage. Aside from playful pens trying to set up booting manually, the boot record can be corrupted, for example, if the computer was turned off while the update was downloading. Or during sudden power surges, when the power supply could not cope with holding the load.
What to do if "bootrec/fixboot is denied access" error
First of all, you will need a Windows 10 boot disk, USB, or other operating system media to fix boot record corruption and resolve the "bootrec / fixboot access denied" message.
After installation boot disk, you need to restart your computer.
When the system boots, click on the "System Restore" or "Repair your computer" button in the lower left corner of the screen.
At the command line, enter the following commands in sequence:
- bootrec.exe /rebuildbcd
- bootrec.exe /fixmbr
- bootrec.exe /fixboot
After that, you need to exit and reboot the system.
In most cases, this sequence of steps will resolve the bootrec/fixboot access denied error. If the message appears again, repeat the entire sequence of actions, but at the end add one more command:
- bootsect/nt60sys
- press Enter and reboot.
Once again, note that "access denied message bootrec/fixboot" in Windows 10 indicates problems with the master boot record, so experimenting with fixing them must be done with care and skill.

After clean Windows installation 10, when trying to open one of the folders on the system drive, I received an interesting message. The system displays a window with the inscription You do not have permissions to access this folder. This all happens when using licensed Windows 10 and account Microsoft.
To get permanent access to this folder, the system prompts you to click the continue button. I really thought that everything would be very simple and after pressing the continue button it would immediately be opened desired folder, but it just doesn't work that way. A new window opens with the inscription You are denied access to this folder. And there is already a useful message here, in order to gain access to this folder, you must go to the security tab.
In this instruction, we will look at what to do when you do not have permissions to access a folder and you are denied access to the same folder on Windows 10. Let's look at several ways to open access to a folder using the operating system as an example. Windows systems 10.
Open access with the takeown command
For more advanced users, it is possible to enable access to a folder running the Windows 10 operating system using the command line. The disadvantage of this method is that if there is a lot of data in the folder, the process of executing the command may be delayed. See all methods in our article, because in the latest Windows versions 10, the command line in the Win+X context menu has been replaced with Windows PowerShell.
After successful execution of the command, the user will have access to the required folder. Compared to the previous method, this one takes much longer.
conclusions
Thanks to one of our methods, you will be able to open a folder where you were previously denied access and you did not have permission to access. We looked at how to open access to a folder in Windows 10 using security settings and the command line.
Usually folders that are not accessible are hidden. Therefore, it may be worth just turning off the display. I hope the article will be useful to many users. Since when installing the system and owning an administrator account, as it turned out, by default there is no access to all folders system disk.
If an error appears, you are denied access to this Windows folder 10 on other local drives, then you should check the system for malware. You can use years for this.
Hello friends! The other day, once again, I came across an error when starting some system services. Why do I say that again? The thing is, I've already met her. not for the first time, but somehow I could not get to the description of the ways in which I successfully coped with error 5.
So let's meet a few possible solutions, which can also help you if you find problems with starting services, namely " Errors 5. Access Denied". In general, I will first describe the very essence of the error that I am talking about, so that you can determine the same problem you have or something completely different.
So, by opening the services menu and selecting the item I need, I get into their properties, where in the item about how to start the service, I set the value to “Automatically”, and also click on the “Start” button to start it immediately. But alas, instead of a successful start, a small window is displayed on the screen, with a rather strange message that the service could not be started due to "Error 5. Access denied".
This message surprised me because it said about the lack of rights, although I worked at the computer, logging in using the system administrator account, and as you know, there are all possible rights to change the properties and settings of the operating system.
How to solve the problem with Error 5?
There are quite a few solutions to this kind of problem, namely, fixing the causes of the “error 5. Access denied” when starting services, it all depends on the situation the user is facing. Further, as usual, I will not describe one hundred percent way that will help everyone, since there is none, but I will write about how I got out of this situation with a positive result.
I found some examples of fixing error 5 on the net, but I got to others myself. In general, let's see what in my practice helped to get rid of problems with starting services, but if you try to do the same for yourself, maybe one of the options I suggested will suit you.
"Error 5. Access denied" when starting system services, solutions
1. Opening full access to the "C" drive. I don’t know why, but I came across computers where the security of the system disk was set to read-only and nothing else, and this parameter was set for all accounts. But, as soon as I returned all the security checkboxes, error 5 disappeared forever, but the service started its work without any problems.
To return the rights, you need to get into the properties window of the system drive "C" and go to the tab " Safety". Having missed the list of users and groups, we go down to the "Edit" - "Add" buttons.
In the area that appears, use your hands on the keyboard to type the word " All”, which means that we will set the same access rights for absolutely all users of the system.
If everything is so, then in the previous step you did not make mistakes, click on "OK".
For those who are still Windows user XP, you should pay attention to the fact that by default you may not see the "Security" tab. In order to return it to its place, follow a few simple steps.
- Open any folder;
- Click on "Service" at the top.
- "Folder properties";
- "View";
- In the list of additional options, uncheck the use of simplified sharing.
After that, we perform the above described actions and, of course, we check whether you managed to cope with the error5 using this method or not.
2. Also, there is another way that I got on the Microsoft support pages. Seeing this tip in the comments, I decided to try it and the problem with error 5 when starting the service was solved.
The first step is to open command line on behalf of the administrator, if you are on this particular account, then you can not worry and just open cmd using "Run".
Now in the window that appears, write this: net localgroup administrators /add networkservice (Important: if you have English. OS then instead of Admin. specify Administrator) and press the Enter key.
Then we do this: net localgroup Administrators /add localservice . (Administrators)
When finished with the commands, close the command prompt window and restart the computer.
If the commands were entered correctly and you were lucky, then error 5 preventing the services from starting should disappear, and the services themselves will start without any access denied messages.
3. We are trying to fix the error with denied access when starting services using the registry of the operating system.
But, before we rush to chop up our registry, we first need to find out the name of the service that does not want to start. To do this, in the list of services, open the properties of the service we need and look at the line " Service name". Having remembered it, we proceed directly to working with the registry.
Registry Editor - launch it using the "Run" window. If you do not understand what it is, then you.
You should see a large list of services in alphabetical order. In order to understand what kind of service we need, I said to look at its name in the properties. So we are looking for a section with the appropriate name, right-click to call up the section menu and select the line " Permissions».
The same security setting as I described in the first paragraph should be displayed. In general, we look to ensure that full access is set in the "Administrators" and "Users" groups.
If they are not there at all, then we fix this matter, in the same way as I showed it at the beginning of the article.
4. Let's consider one more point, which is also related to access to the C drive, only this time not to all users, namely LOCAL SERVICE.
So, again we go into the security properties of the system disk. Next, after the list of users and groups, click on the "Add" button.
In the window that appears, click on "Search". As a result, a list should appear from which we need to select "" and click on the "OK" buttons.
This group should be added to the user's list, now for going down a little lower to the "Permissions for LOCAL" window, set all possible checkboxes and apply the changes.
In theory, the service should start after that, but error 5, disappear without a trace.
5. Alternatively, you can also disable or remove your antivirus and try to start the service without it. The point is that some antivirus programs besides software install additional services that could take away your rights to enable or disable some local services.
6. Well, the one hundred percent option, of course, is, I know that it won’t suit everyone, but I can tell you with confidence that it will definitely help get rid of error 5 with denial of access to start the service, well, and additionally save the computer from various other glitches and problems 🙂
On this I will probably finish my article, but if at least one of the above options helps you, then do not forget to join us
It may happen that after reinstalling Windows or for some other reason, the system will deny you access to some folders or files on local drives, especially if a previous version of Windows remains on one of these drives.
But what if we say you have important files on your old desktop, or in your downloads folder, or in your documents folder, or in some other special place? This article addresses this issue and presents two ways to regain access to such folders or files. For example, the suggested solutions were performed on Windows 10, but the following is true for Windows 8 and Windows 7.
First way
Click on the folder with limited access right click mouse and select command context menu"Properties". In the folder properties dialog that opens, switch to the "Security" tab, then in the "Groups and Users" list, find the item with the name of the account under which you are logged in and click on it with the mouse. In the lower field you can see the permissions for the folder.
You may also not see your account listed as shown in the picture above. In any case, click on the "Edit" button to change your account's access rights to the folder. If your account is listed in the upper field, skip this paragraph and read on, otherwise click on the "Add ..." button.
In the dialog that appears, type in the name of your account in the lowest field, click on the "Check names" button.
Highlight the item with the name of your account in the upper field, and in the lower box check the box next to "Full access", then click the "Apply" button.
If you see the following message while applying the settings:
Error applying security settings to... Failed to enumerate objects in container. Access denied.
or message:
Then close everything dialog boxes and try the second way.
Second way
Right-click on the restricted folder and select "Properties" from the context menu. In the folder properties dialog that opens, switch to the "Security" tab, then click on the "Advanced" button.
In a new window, in the line owner, click on the "Change" link, if you need to enter your account password, enter the password and confirm the action.
A dialog box for searching and adding an account will open, the same as in the first method described above. Type in the name of your account in the lowest field and click on the "Check Names" button.
The system will find and format your account name. Click on the "OK" button to add the found account.
The dialog box will close and in the previous window, in the "Owner" line, you should see the name of your account. Be sure to check the "Replace owner of subcontainers and objects" box below it to access all subfolders and files in the folder you are trying to access, then click the "Apply" button.
Agree with the warning that you want to change the permissions for this folder so that you have full control rights by clicking on the "Yes" button.
In the next informational message, also click the "OK" button.
As a result, you should see only one item in the change owner window with the name of your account.
Click OK and close the main folder properties dialog box by clicking OK.
All! The folder should open as usual.
The hosts file is text file containing information for the browser (and other programs using the Internet), which is a comparison of site names and ip-addresses of their servers, by which the browser accesses the site. When you enter the site name in the address bar of the browser, it checks the content hosts file(by default there are no entries in it), and then turns to the DNS servers (specified in the settings of your network card), which tell the browser which ip address to send the request to. If there is a site name entry in the hosts file, then the browser goes to the ip-address specified in this file. Why is it necessary to know how to edit the hosts file in Windows 10 when access is denied? For example, to eliminate the consequences of a virus attack or to prevent users from going to certain sites. Denial of access when editing means the lack of necessary rights. More on all of this below.
How to easily edit the hosts file in Windows 10 when access is denied?
As in others operating systems Windows families, the hosts file in Windows 10 is located at C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc. If you have the display of file extensions enabled (Control Panel - Explorer Options - View - uncheck "Hide extension for registered file types"), then you will notice that the hosts file does not have an extension.
