sabnzbd\sabnzbd.ini Fatal Error Issue

[rfprice]

Hello

Issue:
SABnzbd.exe 0.7.20
SABnzbd detected a fatal error:
Cannot access the user profile.
Please start with sabnzbd.ini file in another location

Read through a few of the posts, uninstalled and reinstalled. For me, there is no sabnzd folder in the appdata/local folder.
Uninstalled Firefox and also tried Chrome. No go.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This looks like a serious problem with your Windows installation.
(Or just a nasty abnormality that SABnzbd cannot handle.)

There is a work-around.
Go the desktop icon that you use to start SABnzbd with.
Right-mouse click on the icon, select Properties.
Then, in the box which says Target:, add this to the end of the existing text.
-f c:\Users\USER\SABnzbd
Where you replace USER with your Windows login name.

The complete text in the box should be:
For 32bit Windows:
"c:\Program Files\SABnzbd\SABnzbd.exe" -f c:\Users\USER\SABnzbd
For 64bit Windows:
"c:\Program Files (x86)\SABnzbd\SABnzbd.exe" -f c:\Users\USER\SABnzbd

Click OK and then try to start SABnzbd again.

if you having any suggestions... might be time for a clean install of windows 10 since I have been delaying that until this most recent update

Find the program cmd.exe (standard part of Windows).
Start it, you'll get a black window.
Type:
set userprofile
Press Return
What does the box show now?

In that case, something in your Windows Registry has gone bad.
I have no idea what it is though.

Thank you for the effort
