Hi!
I just downloaded Push2run, and a prompt asks me for a password. I have seen the fix, but it didn't work. :cry:
Sorry if this question have been asked before

Details:
OS: Win10 Pro N | version: 1909
My Windows was digitally activated (my product key is linked to my microsoft account), so my User (in Users folder) is not the same as my account (local), but only the name differs... So my user folder is from the cloud, but I renamed my account and made it local, though it still works from the same folder, and there haven't been a new user account folder created. I don't know if this affects anything. (Yes, I tried restarting too. :), reinstalled push 2 run 2x )

were you able to see and delete the files at
C:\users\your windows id\AppData\Roaming\Push2Run

I just went through this with someone else and for whatever reason on their system that folder and its contents got set up as hidden and read-only.

Unhiding it and deleting it before trying a reinstall fixed it for them.

Great, glad that worked for you!

I'm still trying to figure out why this is a problem on some systems and not others.

Out of curiosity, was either the directory or file marked as either hidden or read only on your system?
