Hey everyone, I am at my wits end. I have a Win 10 64 pro machine that if I run the machine for a while, and then go to install a program and try to delete the folder in Program Files so I can get a fresh install, the OS tells me that I don't have permission.
However, if I reboot the machine and try to delete the folder, it works. I see problems with running programs sometimes that I suspect that the permissions change and it can't write the configuration file (Solidworks seems to show this)
The weird thing is that I saw the same problem with Win7 Pro (hence the reason I updated to Win10)
Does anyone have any clues or suggestions to test things. I am going nuts trying to solve this. I know it sounds like it is something I installed, but it's a pretty straight forward install. Not too weird etc.
It behaves as if I have "admin" rights to start with but then the OS locks down to protect itself. It's just weird.......help..........
It doesn't only show up during installs.....that's just an example I have seen consistent.
Oh, I have 16 GB ram and shut down every night, so it's not a memory leak.
