Can you confirm that creating a folder / file manually inside

Works from Windows explorer as your normal user? I expect it must but just making sure.

I would be extremely surprised if that were the case, can you point me the article / pages suggesting that? I say this because a graphics driver shouldn’t be touching the filesystem code at all.

What is more likely is that some internal error is occurring in FG, but being reported as a permissions issue by the update code. if you could email me the fgfs.log file for a run where the update fails, it would help.

Kind regards,
