Does this help you?

Hiya,
I upgraded to Windows 10 from Windows 8.1 and found I had loads of problems like yours.
My solution was to turn it back to Windows 8.1 by going to control panel and deleting Windows 10, it reverts to the original Operating System that you started with..

Good Luck !!
Brian

I joined some years ago and I have found their advice invaluable.

Folders may show as read only but they are not, you can ignore that.
