Description
The ability to set access permissions and auditing is critical to maintaining the security and proper access controls of a system. To support this, volumes must be formatted using a file system that supports NTFS attributes.
Check
Open "Computer Management".Select "Disk Management" under "Storage".For each local volume, if the file system does not indicate "NTFS", this is a finding."ReFS" (resilient file system) is also acceptable and would not be a finding.This does not apply to system partitions such the Recovery and EFI System Partition.
Fix
Format volumes to use NTFS or ReFS.
