Forge doesn't open anymore. Windows says it can't access the file or I don't have the "proper" authorisations
was working fine with v.1.6.55
#Windows can't open the file (1.6.57)

In this log, I'm not even in the same version !!

I don't know what that error message says since its not in language I know
But I doubt forge log would be created if Windows is preventing it from opening
flint sinew
That explains the differnet log version ! 🙂
flint sinew
still nothing...
even install winRar, just incase..
My user is admin, I granted R-W-X to the folder to authenticated users, and still, this Windows won't open the file

@flint sinew how do you run Forge? Double clicking causes error instantly?
flint sinew
@oblique tiger exactly
I can see the file logo is not the same as previously... Like it's only a shell
flint sinew
with the CMD it works !
oblique tiger
I wonder why the exe don't work maybe blocked by antivirus or something
balmy wedge
Maybe windows defender marking it as unverified or something
flint sinew
I'll try to add an exclusion in defender

One thing I noticed is your pictured error message shows C:\Downloads\forge... , this is a normal path, probably run as administrator, etc.
.
Your latest image is from a user-path, in particular C:\Users\<username>\Downloads , a typical path browsers use to download things. While you can directly run things from here, if it's more permanent I'd move it somewhere else.
So it could be an issue with non-admin user vs admin and you thought it was running from somewhere else?
It might also help to rename that first path to avoid future confusion, e.g. from C:\Downloads\ to C:\bin\ , then you'll know right away that this is not your user-specific browser download path
