All new projects show up missing!

Godot Version

4.2.2

Question

Its a fresh download, and when it opens up it says there are no current projects, would you like to visit the asset store? I say no to that, click on new project, set up a new directory for it under file C://Godot/Projects and every time the new project pops up as missing! I’m at a loss, I had godot before and it never did anything like that… Any help would be very much appreciated! ^-^

Do you type the directory when creating a new one? If you did, use this

C:/Godot/Projects

instead of this

C://Godot/Projects

Or select the folder using the file picker.

When I create it, I don’t get D:// I just get D:/

If that’s not the problem, try executing Godot as an administrator, I don’t think that’s the problem, but maybe you have some security issue accessing the “C:\Godot” folder (this might happen if you’re working on a computer that belongs to your company and they have some security policy or something similar)

You’re right. Sorry, that was just a typo when writing to the forum. That’s not the problem, but I use a directory the file manager approves, like C:/Godot/Projects and the project immediately shows up on the list as ‘missing’…

When I run as administrator, the project shows up right on the list, but if I click on edit, it starts to boot up the program, then shuts it down before it finishes booting up… Some settings are likely messing with the program, but I cant seem to find them…
