So is it working now or not?
Lack permissions to change files?
Yes, it is now working.
Okay, dont understand it but glad it is sorted.
Welcome to the club! None of it makes any sense to me, either.
Well, the problem has resurfaced. I hadn’t used the program for a few days (was in hospital) but today I tried scanning and saving some updates with Jaikoz 12.4 and it failed with the same permissions issue.
I uninstalled 12.4, installed 12.3 and it worked perfectly.
The only thing that I can conclude is that there must be a Windows security update that doesn’t like 12.4 on my PC.
So, I’ll just keep chugging along with the 12.3 version for now.
Sorry, I failed to mention that I did reinstall a back-up copy of the OS over a week ago and it did fix the problem, albeit temporarily.
All I can suggest is some issue with your antivirus/malware. Really nothing has changed with the functionality of the application regarding file modification and nobody else has this issue so the issue really is specific to your PC, without access to your PC it is very difficult to say exactly what the issue is.

I agree with you 100%.
I just finished installing Win11 onto an officially MS “unsupported” older PC. Jaikoz 12.4 version works perfectly even on it. Something is definitely rotten in the state of my main PC. I dread doing a complete reset and clean install of the OS, but it looks like that’s my only play.
I think as a last resort, though, I am going to do more research to see if it might still be possible now to turn-off/reinstall MS Defender. They’ve really tightened up the security on Win11…
Time will tell.
I just finished performing a clean installation of Windows 11 back on my main PC.
Well, as you indicated there was something going on with my AV/Anti-malware.
Although not 100% certain, I believe I’ve finally found the source of my pain.
Sometime in the distant past I installed an app called “DefenderUI”.
Apparently, this is why I was unable to turn off the Windows Defender when you asked me to.
I believe it was also somehow interfering with the normal operation of Jaikoz 12.4.
I’m all through testing/experimenting anymore as it’s working perfectly now and I still have tons of stuff to do to get my fresh, clean Windows 11 installation back to where it’s comfortable for me.
Here’s the link to that app, if you are interested in testing it, yourself.

Thank you for your patience!
