hi @OleszykYt

I will try

There is a problem, I can’t change the .urc read only…
When I change it and check properties again the setting is on again, do you know what to do?

hi @OleszykYt You need to be running as Administrator.
UEFN will not install correctly from Launcher on any Windows 11 (eleven) version needs to run Elevated "Run As Administrator - General / Issues and Bug Reporting - Epic Developer Community Forums

When you start UEFN you must be running via EP GL “Run as Administrator” for everything

You cannot do anything without “Run as Administrator” for everything

You may have to uninstall UEFN and install as described above

How will this help me to make the folder not read only?
