I had this same exact issue. I just downloaded the newest stable SAB windows installer version , but not sure if the issue was happening before the new version.
If it matters, I am on Windows 7 still.
I have always had the below directories, but now the #1 is showing as C:\Users\LLL\Downloads\incomplete (C:\Users\LLL is the Default Base Folder), and when i trying to change the "Incomplete" folder, SAB does not even show the "ProgramData" folder (same for Finished and Completed folder option), even though C:\ProgramData does exist on my PC. The temp folder always defaults to Downloads\incomplete. Does it matter that SAB shows it as Downloads\incomplete and not C:\Downloads\incomplete ?
And if I try to manually override it, it gives me "Error: Path length should be below 60."
1) C:\ProgramData\NzbDrone\Downloads\1) Temp DLs (Incomplete)
2) C:\ProgramData\NzbDrone\Downloads\2) Finished DLs (Watched )
3) C:\ProgramData\NzbDrone\Downloads\3) Completed
Is there no way to change the Default Base Folder?
thank you

No you can't really change it easily.
ProgramData is a hidden folder, so that's why it doesn't show it.
Bit strange about the path length, but that part isn't new really. Could you try a tiny bit shorter names?

Ok, thank you. Was the ProgramData folder recently hidden? I've used that folder for years.
At least the folder path change is painless
Cheers

It might be a change in Windows, we just ask the OS to list us the directories.

I found a bug in the code that does this check. It will now also show you an error in the interface when it does a modification.
