Windows 10

Hi Matthias

 

I had used Lilypond on Windows10 for a while with no problems, however recent updates have caused quite a few different issues and permissions is a big one.

 

My lily files were all in C:\windows\users\peter\lilypool and the lilypond program in C:\ProgramFiles(86)\Lilypond and Frescobaldi in in C:\ProgramFiles(86)\Frescobaldi.

 

Everything worked fine but after one fateful OS update I found to extra folders in C:\windows\users\  , PETERDESKTOP and PETERDESKTOP.000.

 

Frescobaldi ceased to work the solution I came to was to run Frescobaldi as Administrator (even though my account peter is an administrator) somehow these unbidden “users” had screwed things.

 

I have been trying to get some sense out of MS for days without any luck, other issues also abound.

 

ADVICE “Do not join the Windows Insider program – unless you have plenty of spare time and a good working knowledge of the Windows OS methodology”

 

Regards Peter
