    Getting permissions error trying to run Windows App Affinity Photo


    The Affinity apps on the web store seem to install correctly, but when I try to run them I get the error "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item." I have:1. Run DISM and Scannow- no problems found.2. Tried installing under Safe Mode with Networking- will not install.3. Installed the recommended VC++ Library- it installed ok- still no joyI created a new User and tried installing and the install went fine and the programs run. What do I need to fix on my regular User Account or on my system to fix this?

    :)

    Affinity Photo Reinstall

    My computer crashed. I had the hard drive replaced. Now, I need to know how I can get the affinity photo program reinstalled on my laptop with windows 10. I originally purchased the program about 8 months ago online and have no idea how to get a re-installation.
    Any suggestions?

    Thanks!

    Getting permissions error trying to run Windows App Affinity Photo

    Photos app - trim a video - error

    Hello,
    I am trying to use the built-in Windows 10 Photos app to trim a video.
    I have the video playing in the Photos app and click "Trim Video" at the top.
    I move the sliders to select the start and end points.
    I click "Save a copy" at top-right.
    The app says "It looks as though you don't have permissions to save changes to this file. Try saving a copy instead."
    Having just clicked "Save a copy", I am confused as to why this error message is appearing.
    I've tried copying the .mp4 to my VIDEOS folder on C: drive with the same result.
    Some research has suggested to run the Photos app as Administrator, but I can't figure out how to do that.
    Any suggestions on how to trim a video would be appreciated!
    Thanks,
