I marked this thread as solved but couldn't find a way to indicate which post was the solution. Any way to do that?

@glasskuter, that's basically what I had done and proved the problem was a corrupted user account, so yesterday backed up his data, deleted his account, re-created it, made it an Administrator account, restored his data and all is well. Thank you to everyone who offered suggestions. Kept me...

If it is a UAC problem, how do you fix it? (I'll make the changes you mention as another test).

Good idea, I'll try a new account. Success: Edge works fine under Administrator (I just activated it and logged in with it) so there is a problem with the owners account. It's a Microsoft account so I need to repair it, not replace it. Any suggestions on how to do this? I'm going to delete...

User has full control of all his folders. Just checked again to be sure.

Alan, as I said before, I turned off UAC and it did not make any difference.

Installed Chrome, same problem. Get Needs permission to download. I'll try DISM and SFC, see if that makes any difference.

I uninstalled the VPN using Geek uninstaller, still the same problem. I'll try a different browser but even if that works it doesn't solve the problem. He should be able to use Edge.

Working on a friends Samsung laptop. It's a nice PC, 11th gen i7. 16GB ram, SAMSUNG MZ9LQ1T0HBLB-00B 1TB M.2. Every time we try to download a file we get Couldn't download - No permissions. I've looked at all the suggestions I could find via google searches including turning off UAC but so far...

Again, trying to fix the error that I don't care about instead of getting Robocopy to ignore the error to continue copying.

I successfully copy thousands of files in the command window with Robocopy, just a few get errors, which I don't care about. I only want Robocopy to ignore the error and continue to the next file copy.

/R:0 /W:0 /B does not help. Robocopy gets the error and exits, it does not ignore the error and continue with the next copy. I don't care what file gets the error, I just want to ignore it and continue. That does not seem to be possible with Robocopy.

Agree, quotes not needed but cause no harm. Done more from habit than anything. I can access the NAS and write to it most of the time with no problem. I've been using this batch file which uses robocopy for several years with no problems. It was just this last time I tried to use it that I ran...

Yes, I've checked them multiple times. As far as I can tell everything is setup correctly. Set to Everyone, Full control.

I don't care about the error, I want robocopy to ignore errors and continue to the next file. There does not appear to be any way to do so. Setting /R:0 /W:0 /B has no effect other than robocopy exiting on the first error rather than continuing to the next file.
