Dan,
AFAIK, the wsjtx_status.txt file is created every time wsjt-x is
started, and is deleted every time wsjt-x is closed. If it is
disappearing while wsjt-x is running, it might well be some other
program is deleting it. The same is true for the entire subfolder. Stop
any other running programs that might do this, and see if that makes a
difference. Do you have Malwarebytes running at the same time as your
AV? Is CCleaner running all the time? Do you have some program set to
automatically delete tmp files or directories? Thse would all be places
to check.
If it is a case of some program automatically deleting tmp files and
folders, this can probably be turned off, or adjusted so that it doesn't
happen as often.

I keep getting an error reporting that WSJT-X can’t find its status
file. The reported path is
“C:/Users/<account>/AppData/Local/Temp/WSJT-X/wsjtx_status.txt”. I can
see why it can’t find it and that’s because the “…Temp/WSJT-X” subfolder
is missing. Obviously something on my Win10 system is removing it. I
don’t know what application is doing it, but it’s probably CCleaner or
my anti-virus or Malwarebytes. I can probably figure that out. My
question though is; shouldn’t WSJT-X be a little more fault tolerant?
Anything in a temp directory is subject to disappearing. If the
sub-folder can’t be found, recreate it.
I know from past experience with this fault, that manually creating the
WSJT-X sub-folder in “Temp” will fix the problem. I can recreate the
problem by changing bands in WSJT-X, after a successful launch, in which
I don’t have the problem. The problem appears intermittently, but keeps
happening until I do a manual fix.
