Game folder permission problems

I have a new ASUS TUF gaming laptop. I copied a game folder from my desktop PC to a thumb drive, then to my laptop to keep the saved files in sync when I traveled. When I got back, I tried to copy the files back to the thumb drive but got the error, “Your organization does not allow you to place this file here.” I discovered it’s the folders rather than the files that won’t copy; I was able to create the folder and subfolders on the thumb drive then copy the files in the folder and subfolders, a slow chore. I’ve searched the Internet for solutions, but, no solution. Where are these permissions in Windows? How do we turn them off?

This sounds like the game folder you copied was housed in a protected folder that is owned by a system user (such as TrustedInstaller) rather than your own user account.
