Access to the path AutoSave is denied.

Question

Hi All, 
 I just installed Studio 2017 yesterday and everything went perfect. Suddenly today I received an error "Access to the path 'C\Users\Sunu\Documents\Studio 2017\AutoSave\.....sdlxliff' is denied. The error message suddenly popped-up and everytime I try to save my work. 
 Please help! 
 Regards, 
 Sunu

Hi Sunu Susatyo , 
 
I'd hazard a guess at two things: 
 
1. Make sure you installed as admin (right-click on installer and select Install as Administrator) 
2. Try a reset if 1. didn't help. 
 
Rename this folder (just add _old to the end or something, it's not important what you rename it to) and restart Studio: 
 
c:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\14.0.0.0

 I can understand that, but you might be more clever. You have this problem because (writing under Paul's control!) I believe that by default SDL project files are saved somewhere in C:\Users\my name\Documents [Dangerous if you must solve a serious OS problem]. I never faced your problem hereabove probably brcause for ages I have been proceeding differentlly 
 In my D:\ drive, an enormous Translations folder gathers 467 (so far ) outsourcer folders, everyone with individual translation project sub-folders, and it is where I create the SDL project folder with its typical *.sdlproj file plus three sub-folders (Luckily this kind of path has never proved too long [in excess of 250 characters?]) And thus I avoid any conflict with OneDrive. 
 You might think of something similar.

Trados Studio > 1. Trados Studio
