To be more clear, the inability to modify existing files/folders (modify rights) on other (non system) drives
is remedied if I change the permissions of the root folder of the “admin” user to full control
but then after a reinstallation the permissions are revoked
and the security permissions windows displays an unknown account
with the UID of the former “admin” user (as it should obviously)the same happens with share folders over the network, unknown account etc.
what is the proper configuration in order to grant full control to administrators group
without adding every user of that group and assigning permissions to each of them?what am i doing wrong here?

with the UID of the former “admin” user (as it should obviously)Yes, that’s normal and as you said, as soon as you change the permissions (of the new admin account) to full control, you should be able to modify permissions again.
You only have to do that once.
But of course, as soon as you reinstall Windows (clean install) you’re no longer (the same) administrator so you lose these permissions again (but why do you keep reinstalling Windows in the first place??).I haven’t tried this but you could change the permissions to “Everyone” (full control).
One should think that everyone is always everyone 😀 and therefore there should be no restrictions (I guess…) no matter how many times you reinstall Windows…
