Here's how to Fix All Files and Folders are Read Only on Windows.

There are a few ways to fix the "All Files and Folders are Read Only" error on Windows:

1. **Change the permissions of the folder**. To do this, right-click on the folder and select Properties. Then, click on the Security tab and click on the Advanced button. Under Group or user names, click on the Edit button and add your user account to the list. Then, make sure that you have Full Control permissions.
2. **Disable the Controlled Folder Access feature**. To do this, open the Windows Security app and click on Virus & threat protection. Then, click on Manage settings under Controlled folder access. Finally, switch the Controlled folder access option to Off.
