I try to give permission in with the commands:
New-Object DirectorySecurity.FileSystemAccessRule ('User', 'FullControl', 'Allow')
acl.SetAccessRule ($)
Set-ACL c: \ windows \ system32 \ drivers -AclObject
it should changed to FullControl In PowerShell when I see in Windows I'm still without permission

You need to get the ACL object from the directory/file add the access rule to that ACL object and then use set-acl to reapply the ACL
