From the 24H2 update, all directories seen by Windows Explorer are checked read-only.
This attribute is not actually active. Indeed, the display of attributes in Windows Explorer indicates the 'DA' attributes for these same directories and in no case the 'R' attribute. So it is possible to create and modify files in these directories.
However some applications like JRiver MC29 (or Vortex it seems as indicated in https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/windows-11-folder-keeps-reverting-back-to- read/982dc5db-bb60-4d77-aabe-6094a8e90e1a?page=1) can no longer delete, modify files from their databases.
Having recently performed the 24H2 update, I was able to return to the 23H2 version. Unfortunately the read-only checkmarks remain and I can no longer use JRiver under version 23H2. I have tried many methods to get around this problem, in vain!
What can I do?

You should be able to change the permissions to read, write. Try a Google search.

The problem may be related to folder Permissions and not attributes, since the folders/files are not actually read-only.
Check permissions with icacls "C:\Full\Folder\Path" in command line.

IIRC, older versions of MC would put the database under C:\Program Files\JRiver instead of the user's profile folder. This can cause problems when the permissions for C:\Program Files are reset by a Windows Update.
