    Hi Joeytic LoL，

    Welcome to Microsoft Community.

    I can quite understand your feeling, most of these games and game platforms you mentioned have cloud archiving, but cloud archiving is based on PC local archiving upload synchronization.

    My computer also has the same game as yours. I checked that the path to save the local game is in the user name folder of disk C. You can open This PC>C:\User (your User name) Check the path to see if there is a folder with the game/platform name mentioned in the problem. If you can't see any folders, the problem may be that your personal folder on drive C does not have write permission.

    In "This PC", right click on drive C and go to properties to see if your account is listed in "Group or username" and all permissions are checked. If you see that your account name does not have any permissions, please click "Advanced" in the ”Advanced security Settings“ click ”Administrator“ and then click "Change" button, enter your user name in the new window, click OK to exit, and then run any game to save, see if you can save successfully.

    Please feel free to let me know if you got any further updates, thanks.

    Best Regards,

    Thank you for your reply！

    After the Microsoft account changes the user name in the Microsoft official website account information, the new user name will be synchronized to the local computer. You can see the change of the user name on the login desktop screen and in the account information. However, the name of the "User Folder" will not change when the user name of the Microsoft account is changed.That's how the system is designed, and it's not a problem.

    Back to your question,

    1. in "Advanced Security Setting for Local Disk", select "Administrator" and click "Change",
    2. on the "Select User or Group" page, under "Enter the object name to select", type "everyone" Then click “OK” to close the window,
    3. restart the computer and re-run any game that cannot be archived and see if you can now create an archive file in the username folder of the C drive.

    P.S.The above operations require administrator privileges. If you encounter a user account control prompt, click "Allow".

    Best Regards,

    there is something weird

    i noticed that this problem stated after i renamed my microsoft acc on my phone to Joeytic LoL

    the pc renamed it self before that i didnt open the pc in abt 3 or 4 months and now when i check the users i dont find my pc name

    neither in the advanced security settings

    Note: JCoeytiC should be the same acc as Joeytic LoL but i dont know why it didnt change when i changed my acc name and pc name.
