Disk error on creating file = Errno 13

I've been using Sabnzb for years with no issues. Starting a couple days ago I can't download anything, including the test files, without getting "Disk error on creating file....". It happened on the latest stable release so upgraded to 3.21RC1 and still happens. I've changed the folders where it is writing to and still happens and have also excluded the folders from Defender. this is a Windows 10 device with plenty of room on the hard drive and no checkdisk errors reported. The folders I am using are on the local C: drive and there are no permission restrictions on the folders. I can write and delete files manually from those folders.
thanks for any assistance.

What is your setting for Temporary Download Folder, and Completed Download Folder ? You can check via
http://127.0.0.1:8080/sabnzbd/config/folders/
Furthermore: you can post all logging on pastebin, and post the URL with space in it here

Things worth to try:
turn off you virusscanner, or at least turf it off to scan c:\nzb\i
turn off directunpack in SABnzbd

Can you share the NZB via pastebin?
What if you use another directory to save to?

fyi the 100MB test download and the 1GB test download both complete every time. The 10GB test download fails every time.

Is it a matter of a big download? If your drive is FAT (SAB will tell at startup "Completed Download Folder %s is on FAT file system, limiting maximum file size to 4GB"), it cannot create files bigger than 4.2 GB
... but that cannot happen with the rar files as they are only 100MB each.
How did you disable your virus scanner?
How much disk space is available on your C: and D:?

I'm pasting in your error

Like SAB says [Errno 13] means Permission denied.
https://docs.python.org/3/library/errno.html tells: errno 13 is "errno.EACCES Permission denied". So your operating Windows is not allowing SAB to write that file.
OS problem. If it happens to one file, but not other files, it's often a virus scanner.
FWIW

I have always used the local C: drive which is SSD and has over 100GB free. I also tried a D: drive which is an external USB which also has over 100GB available. Both are NTFS and I've downloaded countless large files over the years. This is a new issue, started a week or two ago. I am using Windows Defender and modified the local policy and restarted. Folders have been added to the exclude list and I even excluded .rar files when Defender was still active.
