Disk locked after removal Hamachi

Good evening. After removing Hamachi, the disk on which Hamachi was located became blocked. I tried to restore permissions for users in the disk properties, but in the end nothing changed. My friend ...

    When you install Hamachi, make sure you install it to the default C:\Program Files[ (x86)]\ only.

     

    Hamachi has a system service component that requires protection to prevent malicious attacks, if you install to a location that is not C:\Program Files[ (x86)]\ the same permissions will be applied to the location you install it to.

Hi Kutuzov,

 

Can you provide more details such as what operating system you are using and what you mean by blocked? Hamachi is a VPN network connection, user permissions are managed by the operating system.

Operating system Windows 10 Home. After you uninstall Hamachi, you cannot open/delete/move anything from drive D. This is not the first time I have encountered this problem; after the last time I had to reinstall the system. What the hell is wrong with this Hamachi?

    Hamachi is only a VPN/network interface, so just installing it or uninstalling it would not affect your ability to delete local files.  

     

    If an external user was sharing files with you and saved or created files on your D drive under their user account you may not be able to easily delete them as they were not created by you. 

     

    Hamachi is only a network connection, file sharing services are not a function of Hamachi itself and are governed by the operating system: Windows File Sharing in Windows 10 and 11 (Microsoft no longer supports earlier Windows versions)
