Can confirm. Yeah, that's a common headache after major updates. A quick tip: run the privacy troubleshooter (Settings > System > Troubleshoot) after you've reset everything—it can sometimes clear up those permission errors. Let me know if that works.

This. Also, double-check that your user account has full administrator permissions, as that error can sometimes pop up if it doesn't.

This. I had the same problem after the last update. It took me a good twenty minutes to go through and lock everything back down again.

This happened to me too, and that same error code popped up. A quick restart actually let me change the settings again.

Yeah, that restart trick worked for me as well, but it's still annoying that it reset in the first place.

+1 Agreed, it's a common bug after major updates. A quick tip: double-check your privacy settings again after the next Patch Tuesday, just in case.

Can confirm. Yeah, and for that error, try running the Windows Privacy Troubleshooter - it sometimes fixes those permission blocks.
