Problem with "padlocked" files before doing reinstall on new SSD drive

Ever since I installed the game on my HD, all mods that I put in the Community folder get a “padlock” icon on them. Not on the mod folder itself, but all the mod files inside it. However I try I can’t remove the padlock which prevents me from moving or copying files for a backup before reinstalling the game. I get a message something like “your orgnisation don’t allow this action”. I have never had that happen in any other games or programs. I’m the sole administrator/account on the PC. It would be a complete drag having to reinstall all the mods from scratch again. I have searched the internet for a solution, but either I don’t understand the instructions or the options that I should use are greyed out or simply non existent. Has anyone else got this for MSFS Microsoft Store Version? Solution?
