Here’s a bit of a weird one. Was using Etcher v1.5.109 and wrote a couple RPi images to an SD card. In the same sitting went to write another one and got a “User did not grant permission” error. The weird thing is it worked fine for those first couple images and then it stopped. I think Win10 did s…

It still works fine here after installing https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/releases/tag/v7.1.0 Does adding powershell.exe back in the PATH fix the issue for you ?

Had same problem. Ran as administrator and seemed to work but then it said to put a flash drive in G: which had a new blank 32 gig drive the light was flashing of the F: drive which was the source drive for using balenaEtcer as a program to clone a drive. Windows 10 is my operating sy…

Hey all, have you tried Whitelisting like it is mentioned earlier on this thread? If you want to check the console to see if there is any other Errors Press Ctrl+Shift+I Hey Nathan, regarding your unsuable drive, that happens because Windows uses another formatting type, please check this out to b…

I tried the whitelisting and it did not make a difference.

@hernan43 can you try the latest version of etcher? v1.5.111

That test was with the most recent version of etcher. I downloaded it yesterday and reinstalled to test it out.

Hi @hernan43 Thank you for reporting this. I can’t reproduce it locally. Can you please double check you use 1.5.111 ? (You can see the version number in the settings). Especially on Windows as 1.5.106 - 1.5.110 has a severe bug in the clone drive feature. The message you see comes from sudo-pr…

Verified 1.5.111 When I run the above command I get: ‘powershell.exe’ is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. EDIT I installed Windows Terminal some time ago and it prompted me to “try” the new Powershell beta which I believe I am using. I’m wonderi…

‘powershell.exe’ is not recognized as an internal or external command That is the issue. Which Windows version are you using ? Is powershell available somewhere on that computer ? Check here for example %SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\.

Powershell works if I run it outside of cmd.exe it’s just that it is the Powershell 7.1.0-rc.2. It looks like it uses “pwsh.exe” instead of “powershell.exe”.
