TrustedInstaller.exe is a Windows Module service which is an integral part of Windows Resource Protection (WRP). This restricts access to certain core system files, folders and registry keys that are part of Windows installation. TrustedInstaller is a built-in user account that has all the necessary permission to access files and folders in the Windows.
What is the work of Windows Resource Protection (WRP)?
The WRP protect Windows files with extension .dll, .exe, .oxc and .sys files from being modified or replaced. By default, these files extensions can only be modified or replaced by the Windows Module Installer service, TrustedInstaller. If you change or customize the default TrustedInstaller settings, then you’re putting your system at risk.
Sometimes you need to change the ownership of the file to modify or replace system files. Still, once you are done with the customization, there is no option to give back the permission to TrustedInstaller, and sometimes this may lead to the system being unstable as it no longer can protect the system core files.

We all customization lovers know that we need to take ownership of a system file before replacing or modifying the file in Windows. Almost all Windows customization stuff require modification of system files for example, you need to edit Explorer.exe file to customize Start ORB in Windows 7, you need to edit authui.dll file to change login screen, etc.
By default, a built-in system account “TrustedInstaller” has ownership and full control of all system files in Windows Vista, Windows 7 and later OS, so you need to take ownership and assign full permission to yourself before modifying or replacing the system file.
Taking ownership of a file or folder is very easy. We have provided a ready-made registry script which automatically adds a new option “Take Ownership” in file and folder context menu (right-click menu). So you just need to right-click on a file or folder and select “Take Ownership” option and it automatically makes you the owner of that file/folder and assigns you full permission on that file/folder.
How to Add “Take Ownership” Option to File or Folder Context Menu in Windows
We have also posted a detailed and easy to understand guide which teaches you how to take ownership of a file or folder manually in Windows:

How do I give permissions back to TrustedInstaller, when I changed it, TrustedInstaller wasn’t in the list of possible owners anymore??

So how to bring back the built-in system user “TrustedInstaller” and set it as default owner of a file or folder? Don’t worry! Here is the solution.
Today in this tutorial, we’ll tell you how to restore “TrustedInstaller” as default owner of a file or folder in Windows if you changed its owner to yourself?

We’ll add it manually. Click on “Edit” button:
It’ll open another window. Click on “Other users or groups” button.
For Windows 8/8.1, Windows 10 and later:
