I'm having some security in Windows 10 problems. I have added a Samsung SSD and installed P3D onto there (as E drive), however I get very few options in the right-click area that I do on the bootable C-Drive.

I'm having a lot of trouble installing add-on software, and I think it is a security problem, which is a shame security is not an issue for me, so I want to open the E drive up .

The error can be found here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/4P18jzkHDsYfroAK7

It seriously seems to stop me from installing quite a bit of stuff.

Going by the message it sounds like P3D is installed into the "Program Files" directory of C:\ drive (or some other "system managed" location).

Assuming a separate drive, E:\ drive should be formated with NTFS and have the following security permissions at the root level.

• Authenticated Users - Modify
• SYSTEM - Full Control
• Administrators - Full Control
• Users - Read & Execute, List Folder Contents, Read

And when P3D is then installed into E:\ drive there should be no issue with installing updates/apps etc.

Mine is H:\ drive where I have the following folders.

• Global_Addons
• Addons_P3D
• Lockheed Martin

Each have subfolders with P3D itself in the following path.

H:\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\

I tend to keep everything Flight Sim related out of the Program Files location and on H:\ Drive, makes it easier manage and backup/restore is simplified for which I use a script to collect all the other locations together to backup on a single drive.

Also thinking about the use of symbolick links to keep all the P3D operations folders in the one location, job for more time though.

Cheers

Thanks my friend, I'm going to try that, myself.
