Cannot modify files in MSFS folder

Featured Replies

Hi. Tried to get into modding. Turns out MSFS 2020 doesn't wanna be modified at all. Here's what I see:

1. Install folder is in my E drive. In this drive I can modify / create / delete anything.

2. The Microsoft.FlightSimulator folder has some wild permissions. I can't do anything here and I can't recognize this random permission account it says I'm using. All other users (Administrators, Users, SYSTEM, etc) have full access.

3. If I try to move a folder into MSFS's folder, I get this BS error:

118965346_240395947277490_61566916995578

4. If I try and make a folder or modify anything, I get this error:

118952875_3429306967322835_2083520421040

I dunno where to go from here. Should I just do a complete uninstall / wipe of everything and try again? Smash my SSD and just use the C drive?

Thanks for any advice!

Take-offs are optional, landings are mandatory.
The only time you have too much fuel is when you're on fire.
To make a small fortune in aviation you must start with a large fortune.

There's nothing less important than the runway behind you and the altitude above you.
It's better to be on the ground wishing you were in the air, than in the air wishing you were on the ground.

Good on ya. I was using the wrong folder. The correct folder isn't in WIndowsApps.

Thanks for leading me in the right direction.

Windows safe mode might be a good option. I didn`t had there any restrictions at all.
