After doing the migration from the former Google Backup and Sync client to the new Google Drive client which "streams" the files, I am unable to run any of my scripts from the newly mapped G: drive. I'm trying to determine if this is something with AutoIt or possibly a software restriction group policy in place and am having a really tough time figuring it out.

Old setup - Google Backup and Sync. Synced my files to a subdirectory of my D: drive, a local disk. Never had any issues.
New setup - Google Drive. Maps a drive on the computer, in my case G:. For those unfamiliar It streams the files instead of syncing everything on your drive, only downloading files that you need. 

The issue - I can't run any of my AutoIt scripts from G:, be it directly in SciTe, as an au3 file from explorer, or as a compiled exe. No errors are presented. In SciTe the log looks as if everything runs correctly but they do not execute. I also don't see any errors in my Windows logs. I've tried with more complicated scripts (ones that present GUI, etc.) and with very simple two line scripts. (just trying to minimize a window) I can run executable files from the G: drive otherwise, such as PSTools, etc. I apologize if I'm missing something on the forum but don't seem to find anything about a similar problem. Anyone else using the new Google Drive client experiencing this issue or can test it?
