Hello Anthony Rudd ,

The error appears to be indicating an 'admin (rights) issue?

Is the file stored locally or in the cloud/external drive

If as I suspect, this is the latter, please check that permissions/AV exceptions list.

Should the problem persist, ensure the file is stored ;locally to check if the problem still occurs or not.

Thanks Steven. I cannot select any file; the message occurs as soon as I click "Browse". 

Hello Anthony Rudd

Try closing Studio and restarting by Right-Clicking and Run as Administrator.

If this doesn't work- please repair/reset Studio -

Unfortunately, neither running as administrator nor repair nor reset solved my problem.

The forum thread was determined to be SPAM (by 'Text Repetition'). The author responded on 27 May 2021 8:06 AM. Author's Response Why are such posts repeatedly flagged?

Anthony Rudd

They are repeatedly flagged because you repeatedly copy the error text directly into the thread instead of simply attaching the error file as an xml.  When you click on the small disk symbol in the error message you can save the file and then just attach it.  It's even easier for a developer to read when yo do this.  Error messages as text fill the thread, are difficult to read and they get repeatedly blocked by the automated spam filter.
