PermissionError: [WinError 5] Access is denied: Couldn't able to copy file to C:\Windows\System32\oobe\Info\backgrounds\
The error message you're encountering, "PermissionError: [WinError 5] Access is denied," indicates that you don't have the necessary permissions to copy a file to the specified destination directory. This is likely because the destination directory, C:\Windows\System32\oobe\Info\backgrounds\
, is a system directory that requires elevated privileges to modify.
To resolve this issue and copy the file successfully, you can follow these steps:
Run as Administrator:
Run the script or command prompt with administrator privileges. Right-click on the script or command prompt icon and choose "Run as administrator."User Account Control (UAC):
If you're prompted by User Account Control (UAC) to allow the script or command prompt to make changes, click "Yes" to grant the necessary permissions.Copy the File:
After launching with administrator privileges, try copying the file to the destination directory again.Use a Different Destination Directory:
If copying the file to theC:\Windows\System32\oobe\Info\backgrounds\
directory still results in permission errors, consider copying the file to a different directory where you have write permissions, such as a location within your user's home directory.
Remember that modifying system directories like C:\Windows\System32\
may have security implications, so ensure that you're copying files only when necessary and with appropriate permissions.
