Hamachi Denied Permission Access to Files in Installation Directory

I have been searching around for a solution, and though I have found MANY people with this issue I haven't seen any properly actually list a solution to it.

 

- Disk-locked-after-removal-Hamachi - "selecting properties and changing the permissions via security" (Permission denied for me, unable to do this)

- Hamachi-locked-all-files-in-the-same-install-path - No Answer

- hamachi_caused_my_friend_to_lose_access_to_his - "In the security tab allowing all permission to "USERS"" (Permission denied for me, unable to do this)

- installing_hamachi_revoked_permission_to_folders - No Answer

- hamachi_changed_permissions_for_folders_and_files - Recommends 3rd party software (That's what got me into this mess no thank you)

 

I want to undo what Hamachi did after it's installation.

The fact there are loads of other people saying the same thing proves that this program is at least partially responsible, regardless if it's 'just a VPN' or not.

If it's due to the program or a result of inheriting permissions from the other system(s) it connects to I don't know, but I want to get to the bottom of this because I now can't access a huge chunk of my PC.

 

System: Windows 10 Pro 64-Bit
All settings on Hamachi were the default, fresh installation.

User connected to was 1000% trustworthy.

Files effected were not set to be shared previously, and aren't now either.

Uninstalling Hamachi did not fix what it did.

 

Please help me restore access, thank you.

  • Solution Found:

    If you can't edit the permissions through the properties, you can brute it through Command Prompt.

     

    Use: takeown /a /r /d Y /f
    Followed by the directory.

    For example mine was:

    takeown /a /r /d Y /f F:\Programs\

     

    Make sure you run CMD as Administrator.
