    Error unable to open File...for writing.

    Running Release 16.6 and getting the following error when I attempt to rip to a local drive with 2.5TB free space:

    Error ripping to FLAC, 'Track 3' to 'E:\Music\lossless\Phish\Rift\03 Phish - Lengthwise.flac'
    Error unable to open File 'E:\Music\lossless\Phish\Rift\03 Phish - Lengthwise._' for writing. [clEncoder::BeginConversion]
    Things I have tried:
    - Manually created a folder and text file in the destination path/folder successfully
    - Ran CD Ripper as admin
    - Tried all three 'When Ripping' settings in CD Ripper's Options

    Are there other troubleshooting options that I could try? I have searched the forum and have found many threads with solutions that aren't relevant to my setup.

    Drive E is your external drive? and you are able to copy files to it?

      It’s an internal drive, and I have created a folder and text file in the destination folder.

        Perhaps this?

        Microsoft have updated Windows Defender to include an option called "Controlled folder access" this basically limits every program from accessing key areas of the system unless permitted on an individual program basis. By default this option is off for Windows, however if it is enabled you should add the programs

          Yes, that was the cause. I'm running Windows 10 Home 1903 (18362.388).

          Thanks for the assistance.
