Changing permissions on C drive away from the system and giving it to yourself seriously messes with windows ability to function. Win 10 won't boot now as it hasn't got permission to do it.
Hi Ibrahim Awwal,
You may try to run a check disk for the drives and let it repair them.
Autochk Missing Windows 7
1. Click Start, type cmd in the Start Search box, right-click cmd.exe in the Programs list, and then click Run as administrator.
If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click Continue.
2. At a command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:
Chkdsk /R X:
Note: In this command, X: is a placeholder that represents the drive letter of the volume that you want to check.
3. Press Y when you are prompted to check the disk the next time that the system restarts.
4. Close all applications, and then restart the computer.
Note: During the restart process, Windows checks the disk for errors, and then Windows starts.
5. After the computer restarts, repeat steps 1 through 4 for the other volume, and then rerun the backup operation.

This was caused due to me trying to adjust permissions in order to delete some files on my C: drive (not SYSTEM files, just program files). So basically I deleted the current permissions such as SYSTEM and then added my admin account as the main one (like the guides on YouTube etc say to do). I tried to change it back to the original persmissions but it kept saying ACCESS DENIED, and I have restricted permissions (unable to access c: drive).
So I restarted my PC and now it is doing the autochk error. It was a mistake on my part. How can I deal with this? I have no restore points in the troubleshoot option, repair does nothing etc. thank you in advance.
