Thanks Phil, It is definitely a Dell Windows 10 PC, not a virtual machine.?

Might also be worth checking that this IS Windows running stand-alone on a pc, and not virtual Windows environment under some other OS

George,
According to the messages.log file, Windows is launching JMRI in what is known as a "sandbox".? This is an isolated and temporary environment.? When JMRI is stopped, the sandbox is destroyed.
Since I rarely use Windows, someone else will need to figure out is happening.
In the meantime, you can look at Windows S Mode: ?.
This might be forcing JMRI into a sandbox.
You can also look at any anti-virus settings.,

Dave, the JMRI under the user name path is completely blank.? Most of the folders/files you listed are available under the Program Files (x86) folder but Log is not one of them.
?
if I run Decoder Pro it creates all the folders and files you specified in a temporary directory that is created each day the PC starts up.? This PC does not have access to the internet, so I am going to copy the message file to a thumb drive and load
it when I get home.
?
I suspect that the lack of internet service to this PC may be the source of the problem as I believe windows is creating the new temp folder each time the PC is started.
