Godot Version

4.6.2

Question

Just downloaded Godot. Trying to create my very first project.

I have double checked my permissions within Windows OS.

I’m running as Admin and have the write function. Godot can’t create a folder. If I make a folder it can’t create a project.

Any ideas on a fix?

Can you try creating a folder in the D: drive?

Try logging in as the Steve user and see if it works then.

If you’re still having trouble, take screenshots of the Windows permissions for the problem directory and each of its parent directories to help isolate the problem.

If you decide to move on with your project without figuring out what Windows is doing weird with its permissions, try making the project somewhere else like in C:/dev/space

As an aside, I’d recommend you create a projects folder inside your Documents folder. That’s what I did, and it’s helpful because I now have 115 projects in that folder, and it would be a nightmare if they were in with all my documents. It might also solve your problem.

Thanks everyone for reaching out.

The issue was in the document folder. It was set to read only, for some strange reason.

I set the Godot folder as write, tried running as admin, etc… None of those solved the issue.

In the end, I went to C:\ and created a folder there, I found the document folder issue later.

Thanks all.
