Attempting to backup (mirror) Drive D on a Win 10 computer to an external USB drive. Freefilesync has worked flawlessly for months, but I'm now getting an error code 5 - cannot access D:/Recovery.
There is no directory or file named recovery on the D drive - I've checked for hidden items as well.
Suggestions appreciated.
Clicking ignore allows the process to continue, but that's not an acceptable answer, nor is putting D:/Recovery in the filters.
Error code 5 for a file/directory that doesn't exist

Never mind.
Found the folder after turning on display for system files.
Problem was created after updating the Asus laptop to Windows 10 Creators Edition a few days ago. It appears that the update removed the "Run as System Administrator" property from FreeFileSync.
Reset the program to run as admin and the error has resolved.

Yes! That worked. Thanks for replying to yourself. I never would have figured that out.
