Restore fails after latest WIN10 update, SQL 2012 express

  • Perhaps wrong place to ask, but anyway.

    SQL server 2012.

    As most use is tests, I restore DB's very often.

    After latest WIN10 update, it has suddenly become impossible.

    Not sure that it is the cause, but there is a time coincidence.

    Restore process claims, that the relevant .mdf file is in use.

    Activity monitor says, that it's not accessed at all.

    OK, quick solution, make a new db, and use it for the restore.

    Same result.

    Trying to look directly at the .mdf files shows, that I have no read rights.

    A bit surpricing, as I am administrator on the PC.

    So, it seems like a 'Rights' problem, but I have been unable to solve it.

    Any help out there?

    Best regards
