privilege error
About this tag
The tag privilege error on WindowsForum.com covers issues where Windows displays the message 'A required privilege is not held by the client.' This error typically occurs when attempting to copy or access files, especially from backup media created on older Windows versions like XP after upgrading to Windows 7. Users report the error during file transfers, often linked to permission or privilege settings that prevent the operation.
