Will there be risk of losing all the pictures and videos inside the folder if the permission isn't changed to user for a very long time?

If you're encountering an "Error applying security" message when trying to unlock a file or folder in Windows 10, it could indicate a permissions issue or a conflict with security settings. Here are some steps you can try to resolve the issue: Check File/Folder Ownership: Ensure that you have ownership of the file or folder you're trying to unlock. Right-click on the file or folder, select "Properties," go to the "Security" tab, and click on "Advanced." In the "Advanced Security Settings," check the owner of the file/folder and make sure your user account is listed as the owner. If not, click on "Change" and set yourself as the owner. Grant Full Control Permissions: In the "Advanced Security Settings" window mentioned above, make sure your user account has full control permissions for the file or folder. If not, click on "Edit," select your user account, and check the box for "Full Control." Click "Apply" and then "OK" to save the changes. Check Antivirus/Firewall Settings: Sometimes, antivirus or firewall software can interfere with file and folder permissions. Temporarily disable any third-party antivirus or firewall software you have installed and try unlocking the file/folder again. Use Command Prompt: You can try using the Command Prompt with administrative privileges to change file or folder permissions. Open Command Prompt as an administrator and use the icacls command to grant permissions. For example: bash Copy code icacls "C:\path\to\file_or_folder" /grant username:F Replace "C:\path\to\file_or_folder" with the actual path of the file or folder you want to unlock and replace username with your actual Windows username. Safe Mode: Boot your computer into Safe Mode and try unlocking the file or folder from there. Sometimes, third-party software or drivers can interfere with file operations, and Safe Mode can help isolate the issue. Check Disk for Errors: Use the built-in Windows utility called Check Disk (chkdsk) to scan and fix any disk errors that may be affecting file operations. System Restore: If the issue started recently, consider using System Restore to revert your system to a previous state when the problem didn't exist. If none of these steps resolve the issue, it's possible that the file or folder is corrupted or has some other underlying issue. In such cases, you may need to seek further assistance from a professional or consider backing up your data and performing a system reinstall or recovery.
