    SOLVED: New JellyFin setup, seems to have locked my media folders to read only on Windows.

    As the description says, using jellyfin 10.9.8 I just setup my server but now the two folders I added as media libraries are locked to read only and even as windows admin I can't unlock them saying I don't have enough permission. Is this expected or normal behavior? The only relevant setting I could think of is I did say to store images and metadata with folders. Didn't really change much else from default. Any help would be great. I can always just unplug the data hard drive so I am not too worried about the data but its still a little concerning.

    What do you mean "locked"? Jellyfin does not have any ability to alter file system permissions. Windows or Linux.
    Jellyfin 10.10.3 (Docker)
    Ubuntu 24.04 LTS 
    Intel i3 12100
    Intel Arc A380
    OS drive - SK Hynix P41 1TB

    Hi I mean as in set them to read only without letting me set them to full permissions. I originally thought it was jellyfin but realize it was windows itself setting it. Thank you for attempting to help though.
