Question / Help Unable to write - I don't know why

So I opened up obs and this error message popped up: "Unable to write to C:/Users/jonph/Videos/Sounds2018-12-1721-36-30.mp4. Make sure you're using a recording path which your user account is allowed to write to and that there is sufficient disk space." I don't know why this is a problem as I haven't changed any permissions the last few days (I recorded yesterday last) and I have over 30 GB left on my disk. Any possible solutions?

This is often caused by Windows 10 ransomware protection (controlled folder access). Check your Windows Security, Virus & Threat Protection settings and make sure controlled folder access is off (or allow OBS full access).

The most likely cause for this is a spurious character in the file name, probably a space at the end.
E.g. something like (without the quotes) "20210707-MyFile " will trigger this error message.
