Old sketches don't work

The latest version of Arduino makes it so that when a user opens the app, it creates a folder for them under their user profile in windows under app data. The problem is that this discovery app requires firewall access. A non admin user cannot allow access. An admin cannot create a firewall rule because the path is specific to the user profile of whoever is using the app. I have absolutely no idea how to get around this. A user cannot just cancel the firewall access message. The entire app just freezes up. How are people resolving this issue?

I have the same problem old sketches don't work on the new IDE 2.x

I split your post out to a dedicated topic because I think it will be better to keep the discussion of your problem separate.

Hi @pgmaser. I'm not convinced you have the same problem as the one described in Mdns-discovery problem because that doesn't match at all with your description "old sketches don't work.

Please provide a detailed description of the problem you are experiencing.

• What did you do?
• What were the results you expected from doing that thing?
• What were the results you observed that did not match your expectations?
  • Make sure to include the full and exact text of any error or warning message you might have encountered.
