Not working on Windows 10.

[Yandols]

Hi, I have just upgraded to my pc to Windows 10 (Build 10240) and I noticed that ShareX apparently does not work for me anymore.

I got an error message while taking a screenshot, and the screenshot failed to save.
This is it's error message.

Could not create directory, check your path settings.

System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'C:\Users\User\Documents\ShareX\Screenshots\2015-08' is denied.
   at System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath)
   at System.IO.Directory.InternalCreateDirectory(String fullPath, String path, Object dirSecurityObj, Boolean checkHost)
   at System.IO.Directory.InternalCreateDirectoryHelper(String path, Boolean checkHost)
   at ShareX.HelpersLib.Helpers.CreateDirectoryIfNotExist(String path, Boolean isFilePath)

And this is the error message I receive when exiting the application.

System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'C:\Users\User\Documents\ShareX\Logs\ShareX-Log-2015-08.txt' is denied.

ShareX works in Windows 10, we using W10 for long time. Your Windows not allows ShareX to access "C:\Users\User\Documents\ShareX\Screenshots\2015-08" this folder and therefore ShareX can't do anything about it. So it is about your Windows config and not bug in ShareX side.

Check #884 for solution if you already not found it yourself.

Right. It compiles and runs on your desktop so what's the problem? /smh

as mentioned here

... uninstall ShareX and running the installer (downloaded from the official website) as admin and it works ...
