I have an idea of the cause, at one stage probably between 5.2 and 5.3 we switched method for determining write permissions. Before that, the way it was done was to actually try to write a file and see if that succeeded, but now the permissions is read instead. I'm trying to figure out if the permis...

I don't have the full overview of what the temp folder is used for, but transcoding is a major part of it so moving it somewhere else probably isn't that interesting. What does the permissions on R:\temp\UMS say then?

The simple solution to get UMS running would then be to right click the UMS icon and select "run as administrator" - but it won't solve the underlying problem, the fact that UMS needs to be handed a writable folder structure by Windows.

There's nothing special in your configs, so that means you must have tweaked the Windows configuration. UMS runs as the current user (unelevated), so that means that the folder must be writable for either "everyone", "users" or the specific users in question. Since the drive is c...

Actually, it's not as glib an answer is it sounds. The folder is created on the launch of UMS. I've changed the attributes, and I've deleted it outright. It gets created as a R.O. folder upon the launch of the software. UMS creates the "UMS" part of the path yes, but not "R:\temp&quo...

Can you attach UMS.conf from the same folder as the log file?

Ok, the problem is identified, but I'm unsure of the cause. The temp folder (R:\Temp\UMS in this case) isn't writable. Any idea as to why that isn't writeable, or better yet why that is the temp folder? UMS gets the temp folder from Windows, and usually that's "C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local...

It doesn't give me much to go on, can you check the logfile if there's anything in it? By default it's found in %programdata%\UMS and is called debug.log If you rightclick the "start button", select run and then paste %programdata%\UMS ...the folder should open in explorer. If there's anyt...

We need a bit more information. What OS, what version, how did you update?

Sounds strange, is Windows doing the CPU throttling? In any case, it seems whatever is doing the throttling isn't doing a proper job. I hope the algorithm responsible does a better job than monitoring percentage CPU load, as that often isn't very interesting. That is an average per time and per core...
