So just to update 1PW on this issue: it still persists with every single update. Every time there's a new update to 1PW I have to go into %appdata%\.. and right click and set all 3 folders (Local, LocalLow, Roaming) to not read only. Then and only then will 1PW update. Once again, this happens every single update. It's getting extremely tedious and I don't understand why it seems like something is clearly locking access to the file. As explained above and to the CS team, it doesn't matter that I have all the required folders and files set to be excluded by Malwarebytes and the built in Windows 11 AV. Furthermore the issues exists even if I quit MB and disable the Win 11 AV. I don't know what else could be causing this to constantly require me to simply right click and mark that entire series of folders as not read only.
And no, they are not by default all read only. I don't go into my system folders and randomly apply permission/access settings haha.
