Tried installing both by full .exe file and using codesys installer. Installation requires elevation and completes just fine. However when running Codesys and closing the IDE, options-files are not written:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Seems regular users are only given read-access to these files:&lt;br/&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Running Codesys as admin works as admins have full access. Haven’t been necessary before to run as admin.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Don’t think I have the issue on my work-laptop, but have experienced this on a number of other computers. Above screenshots are from my private stationary running Windows 11 Pro:&lt;br/&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Anyone else experiencing this? Is this by design or a known issue?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">bigwhig</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 04 Sep 2026 16:36:35 -0000</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">https://forge.codesys.coma9d08435114f842d91b6419680d5af5f6fdaedad</guid></item></channel></rss>
