Either you can read NTFS permissions for every scanned object and analyze the results, or you can find misconfigured permissions and list only the differences. Let me show you how to do the latter with the help of AccessEnum, a GUI tool from the Sysinternals Suite.

If Windows doesn't start or boot, you need a good repair tool that you allows to access the boot drive to rescue your Windows installation by recovering partitions, copying files, or resetting the admin password. SystemRescue is a collection of open-source utilities on a bootable ISO image, making it easy to download and mount directly to a virtual machine or "burn" to a USB drive. You can use them for both Linux and Windows computers, including desktops, laptops, and servers.

When installing software on Windows devices, common deployment mechanisms such as Configuration Manager can set a custom property to prevent users from deleting the package.
