Hi Matthias
I had used Lilypond on Windows10 for a while with no problems, however
recent updates have caused quite a few different issues and
permissions is a big one.
My lily files were all in C:\windows\users\peter\lilypool and the
lilypond program in C:\ProgramFiles(86)\Lilypond and Frescobaldi in in
C:\ProgramFiles(86)\Frescobaldi.
Everything worked fine but after one fateful OS update I found to
extra folders in C:\windows\users\ , PETERDESKTOP and PETERDESKTOP.000.
Frescobaldi ceased to work the solution I came to was to run
Frescobaldi as Administrator (even though my account peter is an
administrator) somehow these unbidden “users” had screwed things.
I have been trying to get some sense out of MS for days without any
luck, other issues also abound.

plenty of spare time and a good working knowledge of the Windows OS
methodology”

Peter,
I am not sure if you just had a typo or not, but are you really storing
your user data in the *C:/Windows* parent folder?
You must have had to create that Users folder manually, because it's not
the default location.
If so, I highly recommend you restore that to the default user location,
where permissions are much easier to manage (on purpose, by Microsoft):
i.e. C:\Users\Ben\.....
The "Windows" directory itself (in C:) has strong permissions because of
what content is contained within, so I am not surprised that permissions
have given you headaches with that directory. Sorry!
If you want to restore the default location and fix the permissions
issue, here is a link:

Hope this can help :)
