Problem Details:
I originally had around 20 000 maps, when I went on today I only had around 3900. I then proceeded to check my songs folder which contained around 40 gigabytes of songs which meant that I still had the maps and osu was just not recognizing them. So in order to fix this I went to osu and clicked on the repair folder permissions thinking that that would solve the problem. The game then froze until an error message appeared and osu was unable to repair the folder permissions. I am looking for a way for osu to recognize all my songs again.


Video or screenshot showing the problem:

You can also manually set the permissions yourself but it's gonna take some steps
  1. Navigate through the root folder of osu! and open up the properties
    1. Select then Alt + Enter or
    2. Right click > Properties
  2. Go to Security tab and click on Advanced
  3. Go to Owner tab and click on "Edit..."
  4. Choose your account and click on "Replace owner on..."
  5. Click on OK and wait for it to apply.

After that
  1. Navigate through the root folder of osu! again and open up the properties
    1. Select then Alt + Enter or
    2. Right click > Properties
  2. Go to Security tab and click on Advanced
  3. Go to Permissions tab then "Change Permissions..."
  4. Click on "Add..." and enter your Username there
  5. Click on OK and select on Allow all (at the top)
  6. Click on OK and wait for it to apply.
