Garry, I've seen similar issues with permissions, and I can say that for me at least, the upgrade to 4.2.21 didn't change anything.
My issue was with downloads from Transmission. I changed the default folder for downloads to /c/Video.

The download would complete just fine, but I found that if I tried to access the file via Windows, I only had read permissions - I couldn't rename or delete them. I remedied this by changing the Umask setting in the Transmission settings.json to 0. I can now delete files that I've downloaded.
Perhaps I'm missing something, but I assumed that the Share settings for "Automatically set permissions to new files/folders" should change whatever is being written there to just that.
