Description

### Description

In file explorer a folder I was editing had an access denied error when changing the owner, for files it will keep the old owner and stay the same when click ok and reopening.

### Steps To Reproduce

1. Open a restricted folder (eg. C:/Windows) properties page
2. Open security page
3. Open advanced
4. Change the Owner user
5. Click Ok
6. See nothing happens. Reopening the panel will have the original owner

### Expected behavior

UAC prompt should be displayed asking for admin access

### Files Version

2.1.5.0

### Windows Version

10.0.19043.1503
