ConsoleWrite and MsgBox Not Working

[blahxinfinity]

Hi

I've been using AutoIt for years without problem, but now I'm finding some strange behaviour.

Image below shows that the ConsoleWrite statements do not work.  There was no MsgBox displayed either.

Running on a Windows 11 Virtual Machine with latest stable versions of AutoIt and SciTE.

Any ideas what could be causing this?

Thanks

Paul

Is this script located in a Google drive directory?  This has been reported several times. Just search for it, but either use a normal directory or change a setting in de Google drive client ( please search for the exact option)

@blahxinfinity :

I can't test this as I don't have a Google Drive account, but I guess you have to switch from streaming to mirroring in the account settings.

@blahxinfinity

do the following it might work:

compile your script -> go to program -> Right click mouse -> Properties -> compatibility -> Run this program .... for -> Win 7 -> Apply -> OK.

Note: i didn't tested.

Thank you Jos, Musashi, and ad777.

I can report that the source files were on Google Drive, and moving them somewhere else did resolve the problem.

Unfortunately, switching Google Drive from Streaming to Mirroring didn't seem to help.

For the sake of completeness, I'll also note that I used to keep my AutoIt source code in a Dropbox folder and did not experience this symptom.
