How to change ownership of a file in Windows 10
Windows 7 permission denied errorWindows 8 Permissons: Copying a File, Access Denied, Despite Take OwnershipPC: System32 folder ownership issue. Not BootingWindows 7 - all files owned by login now “Access Denied”Windows 10 - access deniedCannot Delete VSHiveStubWindows 10: Prevent guest users from deleting files in another driveCannot gain access to second drive (SSD)Cannot fix random reoccurring permission issues in Windows 10 VMI am getting access denied to internal hard drive and failed to enumerate objects
I have a file that's created by a program, and apparently an interaction with the system and Google Backup & Sync somehow scrambles the owner and permissions of the file. (The owner shows up as either "Unknown" or "Unable to display current owner", depending on where I look at it.)
I need to reclaim ownership of the file.
The standard method (from the File Explorer right click, Properties, Security tab, Advanced, Change Owner) doesn't work because I don't have permission to do that. Basically I need super user access on my own system so I can override what the OS thinks and actually administrate the file.
Anyone got a clue? Rebooting seems to clear the issue but that's a crappy solution. I have a Cygwin shell on this system if that helps. I'd prefer to not have to download any special utilities unless the source is very trustworthy.
Edit The problem re-occured. So far I'm not able to set the owner of the offending files:
C:UsersBrenden>icacls "C:UsersBrendenGoogle Driveprojtempj8build classesquicktestAbstractTest.class" /SETOWNER "%username%" /c
C:UsersBrendenGoogle Driveprojtempj8buildclassesquicktestAbstractTest.class: Access is denied.

I've had an issue with file ownership before.
Follow this tutorial. It worked like a charm for me.
Open File Explorer, and then locate the file or folder you want to take ownership of.
Right-click the file or folder, click Properties, and then click the Security tab.
Click the Advanced button. The "Advanced Security Settings" window will appear. Here you need to change the Owner of the key.
Click the Change link next to the "Owner:" labelThe Select User or Group window will appear. Select
the user account via the Advanced button or just type your user account in the area which says 'Enter the object name to select' and click OK.Optionally, to change the owner of all subfolders and files inside the folder, select the check box "Replace owner on subcontainers and objects" in the "Advanced Security Settings" window. Click OK to change the ownership.
Now you need to provide full access to the file or folder for your account. Right-click the file or folder again, click Properties, and then click the Security tab.
Click the Add button. The "Permission Entry" window will appear on the screen:
Click "Select a principal" and select your account:
Set permissions to "Full control":
Click OK.

Try:
Taking ownership of a file or folder from command line
Open an elevated Command Prompt window.
To do so:
a. Go to > Start > All Programs > Accessories
b. Right-click on Command Prompt, and then click Run as Administrator.
c. Type the following command and press Enter key:
takeown /f [path to folder] /r /d y
d. Then assign the Administrators group Full Control Permissions for the folder, use this command and hit Enter key:
icacls [path to folder] /grant administrators:F /T
The /T parameter is added so that the operation is carried out through all the sub-directories and files within that folder.

I'm on mobile right now, so I'll have to do several edits to meet the guideline. I'll remember that from now on.

I specifically mentioned this in my OP. It doesn't work. At the point where I click Change next to the Owner, it says I'm not allowed to do that. So no doesn't work.

@markspace I'm blind. I'll do some more research when I get back to my computer and I'll update you if I can figure another method, if it's still unsolved. Sorry about that

Try:
Taking ownership of a file or folder from command line
Open an elevated Command Prompt window.
To do so:
a. Go to > Start > All Programs > Accessories
b. Right-click on Command Prompt, and then click Run as Administrator.
c. Type the following command and press Enter key:
takeown /f [path to folder] /r /d y
d. Then assign the Administrators group Full Control Permissions for the folder, use this command and hit Enter key:
icacls [path to folder] /grant administrators:F /T
The /T parameter is added so that the operation is carried out through all the sub-directories and files within that folder.

This also says "access denied" even though I ran it as administrator and got the little "Are you sure you want let this app make changes to your device?" pop up.

markspace - Try these two commands and tell me if this helps solve:
icacls "C:folderpathfile.txt" /SETOWNER "%username%" /Cand thentakeown /F "C:folderpathfile.txt".... If this helps, tag me back as@PimpJuiceITand I'll add this information along with some additional detail plus some reference sources for further learning.– Pimp Juice IT

The first command you gave me didn't work: see my edit but it says "Access is denied." Any other ideas? @PimpJuiceIT

@PimpJuiceIT Just tried
takeownby itself in a command prompt and it fails also.– markspace

Read over this post and look over some of the commands if states to run with options and such. I think perhaps running
takeown /f "C:UsersBrendenGoogle Drive*.*" /r /a /d yand thenICACLS "C:UsersBrendenGoogle Drive*.*" /reset /T /C /L /Qmay help but look over all the thread and what people say does work for some. It's likely a security setting at a higher level up parent folder wise that needs to be reset or whatever but not sure if you could disable inheritance from `"C:UsersBrendenGoogle Drive` and then set the security but another thought I had.– Pimp Juice IT
