Thanks Jim. Yes I do have Malwarebytes and an anti-virus running but both have the temp WSJT-X folder and file exempted. It probably is something that's running but if WSJT-X can't find that directory inside a temp directory, it should just re-create it. Temp folders and files are by their nature volatile and temporary.

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. 73, Jim N6VH On 12/14/2019 5:15 PM, Dan Malcolm wrote: > I keep getting an error reporting that WSJT-X can't find its status > file.
