Won't Create Log Files...

Post by avalbrec »

Description of problem or question:

Handbrake has stopped generating log files. Have noticed this behavior after a recent Windows update. Updated Handbrake to current version but still won't work. I am backing up my DVD library and can't always be sure the discs are in perfect shape and rely on the log files to tell me if any read errors occurred.


Steps to reproduce the problem (If Applicable):

Doesn't work now EVER.


HandBrake version (e.g., 1.0.0):

1.2.2 (2019022300)

Operating system and version (e.g., Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, macOS 10.13 High Sierra, Windows 10 Creators Update):

Windows 10 Professional


HandBrake Activity Log ***required*** (see How-to get an activity log)

Code: Select all

Ah there's the rub - NO MORE LOG FILES!!!

So it's encoding normally still but isn't producing log files? Have you looked at the activity log window to see what's going on?

This would probably be the anti-malware permission scheme introduced by Microsoft in their latest update. Only "trusted" programs are now allowed to access certain directories, including the temporary directories used by many programs... Like handbrake.
