HELP Access Denied Win 10

I can't open InDesign on my computer. I have Windows 10. I'm running a trial version,

everything seems fine from Creative Cloud, period hasn't expired, software is installed.

Yet I get these annoying boxes when I try to open the program.

First box:

Access is denied

Second box:

Unable to launch Adobe InDesign as you lack sufficient

permissions to access the preferenced folders. Ensure that you

have appropriate permissions and then restart Adobe InDesign.

That's a blatant lie! I HAVE access to the folders and InDesign.

Been fiddling with the security options for an hour no, it is not the problem.

Please, please, please is there a kind soul on here with the answer?I have an assignment due any day now.

I cannot get any work done while the program is down.

Yes, or I wouldn't be able to set access right?

Now I've set my username to full control in all the adobe folders I could find. I even checked to see if I had access to the AppData folders, which I had.
I have access to the program files/adobe programfiles/commonfiles/adobe programfiles(x86)/adobe programfiles(x86)/commonfiles/adobe

I've scoured the folders, I can't set any more permitions. Still doesn't work.

Don't go changing any permissions in Program Files. They are supposed to be unwriteable. Preferences are in %appdata%. You should set all files and folders in %appdata% with full permission - not one at a time, but by letting it set all files. Please let us know if you don't know how to do that, telling us your system (e.g. Windows 7, Mac OS 10.11).
