Bug: `The specified device, path, or file cannot be accessed` when opening a file

[QuestDragon]

Description

It's been a while, I'm the one who previously posted Crashes when using small icon preview.

The stable version of Files 3.2.2.0 has been released and the preview crash issue has been fixed, which is helpful, but the error I mentioned at the end of the previous post seems to still be there.

Could you please take a look?

Additional information

• If you specify a program from the Windows side using "Open with", you can open the file.
• Even after completely restarting Files, you will be able to open it again, but this problem will occur again.
• If you select an item in the right-click menu that launches another application (for example, Edit with Notepad++), an error message will be displayed.
• Even if you double-click, there is no response and the file will not open.

Steps To Reproduce

Unfortunately I don't know how to reproduce this.
Sometimes this happens immediately after startup, and sometimes it happens after a while.

Requirements

I would like to fix the error "A device connected to the system is not functioning" from Windows.

Files Version

3.2.2.0

Windows Version

10.0.19045.4046

Log File

debug.log

Thank you for your report, is this still an issue after reinstalling Files?

[QuestDragon]

Thank you for your reply.
I've already tried reinstalling, but it didn't solve the problem.
I don't know much about programming, but when I look at the logs, I see some error-like parts. Could this be somehow related?

What happens if you try running Files as admin?

[QuestDragon]

Sorry for the late reply.
It seems to work fine when I run it as administrator.
From this, it seems that it can probably be started using Windows' standard functions. (UAC, "Open with", etc.)

[yaira2]

Can you try running as non admin again to see if it's working now? There is an issue on some devices where you need to run as admin once for it to work.

Thank you for your reply.
I did the normal open action after running as administrator, but it did not solve the problem.
I have no choice but to use "Open from Program" to open the file.
