The file has all permissions on everyone, but cannot be modified

On Windows 10,everyone has full control, but I simply cannot modify it. I am not administrator, so I can modify it if I am administrator.
Every time you modify a file to report "You do not have permission to open this file. Please apply for permission from the owner or administrator of the file."
But the owner of this file is also Everyone
How to solve this problem

If you have no real security requirements, just grant everyone full control at the folder level.

Hello

Thank you for your question and reaching out.
I can understand you are having some issues related to Folder permissions.

This can be happen if the Owner of the files are different and their permissions are not propagated to sub-folders

Right click on the folder that you want to take ownership of, then tap Properties.
Click the Security tab.
Click Advanced.
Click Change. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
Type the name of the person that you want to give ownership to, and then click Check Names. The account name for the person that you are assigning ownership to is displayed. Click OK.
If you want this person to be the owner of the files and subfolders that are contained in this folder, select the Replace owner on subcontainers and objects check box.
Click OK.

thank you for your's answer,I mean, I have an INI file on disk C. I add the everyone user group and give it full control for INI file, but I can't update content in INI file. I must update the contents of the INI file with an administrator login to succeed. I have set all the control of the "everyone" user group in INI file, why can't I update content in INI file, give me a feeling, this is windows10 bug

Open a command prompt and run icacls against the file, and also it's parent folder. Paste the results back here. like this.

 PS C:\> icacls c:\temp
 c:\temp NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(OI)(CI)(F)
         BUILTIN\Administrators:(OI)(CI)(F)
         BUILTIN\Users:(OI)(CI)(F)
    
 Successfully processed 1 files; Failed processing 0 files
 PS C:\> icacls C:\temp\Addresses.ini
 C:\temp\Addresses.xls NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(I)(F)
                       BUILTIN\Administrators:(I)(F)
                       BUILTIN\Users:(I)(F)
