@TheSaturday6 I don't know whether this is a permissions issue for this particular Windows account or not. The point of creating a new admin account is to test that theory: if the new account can download the SDX content, then the current account is the issue. But if the download fails in the new account, we need to look elsewhere.
Creating a new account is not difficult at all and should only take a couple minutes at most:
However, if you'd prefer to try something else first, you can use the "takeown" command on the Documents directory to reset its permissions.
- Restart your computer, and don't open any applications
- Hit Windows key-X and choose either "PowerShell (Administrator)" or "Windows Terminal (Administrator)," whichever option is offered
- In the window, write this command: takeown /F "[full file path]" /r with the quotes. In this case, you'd write "C:\Users\[your username]\Documents" except with your actual username inserted.
- Double-check the command (take note of the three spaces in the command line), and when you're satisfied, hit Enter
- Restart your computer before testing
But if this doesn't work, it's still worth testing a new admin account.
