I am not sure how many files that this happens to, but it has happened to two that I have tried in the last few days, one .sh file and another program/executable. I am logged in as root - Linux Mint 21.2 When I try to allow executing as a program it unticks itself (as in this video) I also get ‘permission denied’ in terminal, as root and i have tried
chmod +x filename
and
sudo chmod -v +x filename.sh
sudo chown --verbose 1000 filename.sh
But still get denied… What am I doing wrong here or how can I fix this?


Can you try copying the file to a different name?
ie
cp filename filename2
