:(Win 10 IDE vers 1.8.13
For some reason, my sketchboard was at C:\Users\name\OneDrive\Documents\Arduino I wanted to have it in my computer at: C:\Users\name\Documents\Arduino I was able to change the directory in Preferences
Big mistake... Now when opening a sketch I could not compile it, the IDE windows is not responsive, I can't even close it without ending the Java platform in TaskManager. I think I can always go back to the previous directory setting but I wonder if there is something else I can do to keep the sketchboard directory under my PC?
Just as an experiment, try using a sketchbook location that is not under C:\Users\name\Documents. A recent change to Windows Defender added special security restrictions on this folder that can interfere with the Arduino IDE's ability to access it. Try a folder that doesn't have any special treatment, something like C:\mysketchbook
