Unable to export images
#1
Hello - I've updated Windows (more fool me, I know...) and now GIMP (2.8.22) won't export images jpg or png and I'm guessing anything else too but I've only tried those thus far, saving to xcf is no problem though.

The error I get is "Saving "C:\Users\me\Documents\no_sleep.png" failed:
Could not open  "C:\Users\me\Documents\no_sleep.png" for writing.
No such file or directory"

Not sure if this a Windows or GIMP-specific bug. Can anyone suggest a solution please, many thanks.

EDIT: It seems like it's fine exporting any format image to my User specific folder (the same folder that includes ".gimp-2.8"), but not anywhere else.. pretty sure it is actually a Windows fault, as I now also don't seem to be able to export to png in Inkscape, and OBS Studio won't record, maybe other software is up the creek too, my "sleep" function no longer works.
Hmm, must complain to someone...
