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.
