Right-click the Windows logo at the lower-left corner of the screen, and then click Run.The way to do that is to remove your Documents folder from OneDrive.
Googling will find sites showing how to prevent OneDrive from syncing a particular folder, how to turn off OneDrive, how to set rights on the folder, but the best solution is to stop OneDrive from syncing your Documents folder altogether. OneDrive will fight with Skyrim over doing exactly that, preventing it from writing, and that's why you can't save, see your saves, or write to the ini files. Skyrim uses the /Documents/My Games/Skyrim Special Edition/ folder for its ini files and game saves, and of course needs to be able to write to that folder and any folders beneath it. If this is the case, you need to do a few things if you want to play Skyrim.īefore I get to the fix, understand that OneDrive basically takes over the rights to access folders it syncs, and it's a PITA to get it to stop syncing on those folders or giving over access rights. The way to know for sure is if you see something like the below path when you open your Document folder and click in the top : If you are running into an issue where you are unable to save games, see your previous saves, or are having trouble with your INI files not being updated with your Options or BethINI settings, one of the first things you should do (if you are on a PC) is check (1) whether you have Microsoft's OneDrive turned on, and if so, (2) whether OneDrive is using your /Documents folder to sync with OneDrive.
