UPDATE (3/15/2021): We've made some changes in the backend. Should you see the erro rmessage, restart Captivate. Meanwhile we are working on this issue.

Many Captivate users reported issues in opening and saving files on March 9th and then reported the disappearance of the issue on March 10th. The issue appears to have been triggered by updates to the Microsoft Operating System.

If you are still experiencing issues, please ensure you have installed the following Microsoft Windows Updates on your computer:

We recognize that for many users this interruption may have created disruptions in your busy schedules. We hope that you will not hesitate to reach out regarding any technical challenges that this unfortunate situation created. For additional support, please contact us at Captivatehelp@adobe.com.

Bizarre... je n'ai plus de problèmes. Après l'installation du patch de mardi je n'avais qu'à redémarrer le système et tout est rentré en ordre.

It worked for a few minutes when I installed KB5000802.  I was able to save a couple times without issue, but now the error is there again.  I cannot save.  Running in admin mode and restarting computer are not helping.

I just discovered that this issue also correlates to clearing cache in Preferences (Captivate 2019).  I reinstalled Captivate day before yesterday to regain access to my project files (worked).  This morning I just cleared my cache (cache is not the same folder as where I save project files) and not I have not access to any of my project files again.  Reinstalling Captivate involves me calling my help desk to reinstall since I don't have admin privileges.  This is a huge issue.

I'll review the KB also.

Workaround for restoring access to project files

This process just worked for me to restore access to project files after clearing cache (Cache folder is and never was set to the same as the publish folder).

1.  Reinstall Captivate 2019 (Captivate_2019_x64_LS21.zip)

2.  Tested access to project files and got error

3.  Opened Preferences >> General Settings >> Default Locations: Set both Publish At: and Project Cache: to original locations prior to clearing cache

4.   Stay in Preferences >> Recording >> Video Demo >> Working Folder: Set to original location.

5.  Tested access to project files - can open them again.

 

This is ONLY a work around.  Still need Adobe to fix and solve permanently.

Some of us cannot just apply the KB solutions since we're on corporate Enterprises.  All KB have to be vetted with enterprise support before applying.
