windows 10 distiller error %%[ Error: invalidfileaccess; OffendingCommand: file ]%%

[MIL48]

I have a fresh install of Windows 10 Pro, Adobe distiller x Pro, 10.1.1613

Some postscript files are not distilling, I am using the /F flag when I start distiller. When the files error with the message "%%[ Error: invalidfileaccess; OffendingCommand: file ]%%".

The same files that are failing on Win10 will distill on Windows 7 with the same version of distiller and will not distill on Win10 with distiller 9.1. The only difference I can see between the Win7 distiller (that can distill the file) is that distiller is running as administrator.  When I switch distiller on Win10 to run as administrator it will not process the file, distiller seems to know it should do something (distiller opens/takes focus) but it does not process the the file or log anything.

I have tried using the Adobe clean tool to uninstall and re-install Acrobat, Windows update are up to date.
