Windows permissions error

[Bryan Kelly]

Windows 11, Qt Creator 12.0.2, Qt 6.6.0
When working within Qt Creator this message, or similar, is posted on occasion:

I have used Windows Explorer, navigated to C:\Users/bryan/AppData/Roming/QtProject and set all permissions for my user account. Yet not much later, the message pops up again.
What might I do to alleviate this situation?
Thank you for your time.

Is more than one QtCreator instance running at the same time?
Did you also try to disable anti virus software?

I only run one version of Qt Creator at a time. The error is specific to a Qt created directory so I suspect this is not an anti-virus problem.

@Bryan-Kelly I'd start by using the latest Qt Creator (13.0.1 IIRC)

See QTCREATORBUG-7668 or QTCREATORBUG-30728 for why people are suggesting AV issues.

Have you tried changing the Group Policy on Windows? I once went through something similar, not with Qt but with a program I had developed and needed to modify. I'm not sure about your project, but it worked for me. Try explaining more about what you're trying to do, and then we can help you further.

How so? A anti virus software also observes stuff which is created...
