"make sure you're using a recording path which your user account is allowed to write to"

One day I'm recording fine, the next day I'm using the replay buffer, and now 3 days later I can't record anything, even if I change the folder, delete and create a new one, or choose and already used folder. I can't seem to do anything.
Here's the log: https://hastebin.com/orixanacil

Please, post the log-file right after you finished your recording attempt.

I already did.

But here's a new one: https://hastebin.com/owokovoyuw

Maybe you can reinstall OBS Studio.

 

[DigitalNinja]

Tried a reinstall, didn't work.

 

[Suslik V]

OK. Try to create new Profile in OBS Studio and then try to click Start Recording button again. Any changes?

 

[DigitalNinja]

Made a new collection of scenes, even a new profile, still the same error.

Then the message is right. If you have any USB-stick drive formatted FAT32 attach it to your PC and try to record to it (the rights management would be unavailable for this drive, so recording should start, I think).

I have the same problem, but nothing Suslik V said helped me

Hello, I have the same issue where it says "make sure you're using a recording path which your user account is allowed to write to" Can you explain a little more in depth what worked for you with the windows defender?

Go to settings > output > recording
Change the folder it saves to.
Either the drive is full, or you have some sort of write protection on, changing to a different folder might help.

That didn`t work. Any idea on how to turn of write protection. I can not be disk place, because I have over 500 gb free space.

 

[Zidakuh]

Find the folder you have your recordings in > right click it > go to properties
Then deselect the small checkbox saying "write protection" at the bottom of the first tab

I uncheck the folder, then I right click it and I go to properties and its checked again :(

 

[Lukasen]

So its turning itself on write protection automaticly after I turn it off

 

[Zidakuh]

Sorry, but that was about all I can do..
Hope you find a solution though

fyi: Windows Defender ransomware protection will prohibit any writing to protected directories, regardless of being administrator or not, and regardless of any ntfs permissions. It's really bulletproof write locked.

Protected by default are user's magic folders documents, pictures, videos, music. There is a one-time popup notification when an application tries to write and fails for the first time, but it's gone fast and most users ignore and forget the warning and just wonder why they are not allowed to write.
