[QUOTE="HTPCSourcer, post: 1149383, member: 74879"] Hello, This is weird because it is not [I]this[/I] copy of MediaPortal.xml that should be addressed but the one in C:\ProgramData\Tema MediaPortal\MediaPortal. As far as our Windows is concerned, its behavior is correct in terms of not allowing write access to the copy in the Program Files path. I am not sure what is causing this. Can you verify that there is a copy of the xml file in the ProgramData path amd check its security settings? One possible reason could be that you installed MediaPortal for "Yourself" instead of "All users" and in the meantime changed Windows account information. The latter might have been caused by the WIndows upgrade process to Win 10, where a SID change may have taken place. This would then be a new account not recognized by your current security settings for the directory in ProgramData. The cure is simple: open Explorer, navigate to C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal, open its security settings and add "Everybody" as owner with full access privileges. [/QUOTE]
