BobZ6 Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 I saved some photos in the Affinity Photo native format. Today I am being denied access to the same photos. I get the message that I need administrative permission. I am the administrator and it is a stand alone desktop win 10. All other files can be edited or deleted only the Affinity format is denying me access. I tried rebooting and change names but nothing has worked so far. Does anyone have any ideas? Thank you, Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 As an immediate workaround, try running the Affinity app with administrator privileges. Click on the Start icon, locate the entry for the program, right-click on it, and navigate to the option to run with admin privileges. (Sorry, I'm not at my PC right now to give more detail.)

Thank you for your response. The two files are in my download folder and I cannot access them even through Affinity Photo. " Denied permissions". When I run Affinity Photo as an administrator, I am still denied permissions to open those two files. I can open other AP files. My guess is that they are corrupted but how to get rid of them? Thanks, again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Interesting. If they were corrupted I would expect an error message from Affinity Photo, not a permissions error from Windows. I'm out of ideas; sorry.

Wosven Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Hi, Did you try creating other Affinity files in "My Documents" or some other folder and opening them? The "Download" folder can have some permissions restrictions (files' names appearing green, opening files needing confirmation with a warning, etc.).

BobZ6 Posted August 15, 2018 Author Share Posted August 15, 2018 Ok this is weird! Last night I received a Win 10 update. I updated and shut down. This morning I checked my download folder and the affinity files were nowhere to be seen? I think from now on I will save the files in the original folder not downloads. Thanks all for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
