lost access to my own wc3 documents

Since a few days, I've been unable to download and play new maps on b.net. Every time a map download should normally complete, I would get a "cannot find the map location" error and get kicked out of lobby. I then found out I'm now completely unable to edit my wc3 folder in documents. I can't add maps (in or out of b.net), delete, rename, etc. It's telling me I need admin permission, which I allow, then it tells me I don't have permission anyway. This just happened overnight. Does anyone know what's going on and how to fix it? Thanks.
Edit: Windows 10 btw

Fixed it, I did a scan for corrupt system files with a free program and it's back to normal.
Edit: Nevermind, not fixed. First the computer started running horribly and then after restarting it went back to how it was. Running fine with no access to documents (it turns out it's the entire documents folder that's untouchable.

I just said the entire windows 10 documents folder that includes the wc3 files is inaccessible, reinstalling wc3 won't do anything for that. Either that or the computer runs horribly. It rotates with restarts. Really fun.

Try updating patches if you haven't done so. Or just reinstall Win 10

I just ran the windows update troubleshooter successfully and it made a few fixes. The first few times I had tried it crashed midway. It didn't immediately make a difference, but after a few restarts my computer is currently working normally without the documents thing for the first time since these issues started. I'll see if it stays this way.
