Would love to a solution to this every time I open Lr Classic on my Windows 10 PC. What does it actually mean? Is my catalog being updated with my changes as I use Lr? Is it more of an issue with Lr CC and not classic? I have permissions (am admin and only users of my PC) so that doesn't seem to be the issue. My photos and catalog are located at c:\user\j_f_m\pictures. Can't change my user name online or in laptop, would the underscores be a problem? Very frustrating! Thanks in advance

Hi johnm84649246,

Sorry about the delay in our response and that you're getting an error message "Lightroom cannot write to the following directories".

Could you please refer the solution 3 and 4 mentioned in this article Solutions to Adobe Lightroom Lightroom user permission issues on launch ​and let us know if that helps.

Thanks,

Akash
