Has anyone had this kind of error with permissions?

WARNING: Cannot create CUsers/*****/Documents/houdini16.0/config/Dialogs/16.0.557//. (Permission denied)
WARNING: Cannot create temporary file. (Invalid argument)

Problem occurs while creating geometry to the obj level. Trying to create sphere causes direct crash. Trying to delete nodes also crashes Houdini. Copying nodes doesn't work.
Folders user permission should be ok. Running Houdini as a admin doesn't help. Could Windows update mess some settings up?
I use 16.0.557 build on Windows 10.

If you throw away, or simply move it to the desktop, the houdini16.0 folder found inside your user Documents folder then Houdini will re-create that folder on startup.

Thanks for a reply!
Already tried that and doesn't fix the problem. Also tried to install newer version, but it has the same problem.

Houdini is also unable to write stuff to temp folder, like crash reports.

The crash is not reporting that it can't write to a temp folder. It is reporting that it can't write to a user folder. This should not be the case, if you are the user any program you run should be able to write to that users documents folder.

Can any other program write to your Documents folder?
Try saving something from notepad into the troubled folder.

Problem was missing folder in the temp path. I didn't understand why it was causing problems in Documents/houdini16.0/config/Dialogs/16.0.557. Thank's for the help
