1. Start elevated Powershell (Win+X,A) and create file C:\foo.txt owned by
the Administrators group
PS C:\> $null > C:\foo.txt
PS C:\> takeown /A /F C:\foo.txt
SUCCESS: The file (or folder): "C:\foo.txt" now owned by the administrators
group.
2. Open `emacs -Q`
3. C-x C-f C:/foo.txt
4. Type `(file-writable-p "foo.txt")` C-x C-e
t
5. C-x C-s
Saving file c:/foo.txt...
Cannot write backup file; backing up in ~/.emacs.d/%backup%~
Error: (file-error "Setting ACL" "Operation not permitted"
"c:/Users/mhoffman/.emacs.d/%backup%~")
basic-save-buffer-2: Opening output file: Permission denied, c:/foo.txt
Expected that `(file-writable-p "foo.txt")` would return nil.
