  IF you are using Windows11 then it's sometimes a file Daz, or likely a Daz 'helper' component, is attempting to update in a  'protected folder'.

  I didn'tthink Daz Studio did any updaates in the backgrounde. I thought all updates were done by DIM and it told you what it was doing.

  A screenshot of the message might help pin it down.

  I had the same happen to me, it was the accursed windows smart app control that did it, I finally turned the thing off when it blocked a component for steam!

  Important note: 

  Do NOT turn it off unless you're willing to reinstall windows as you cannot turn it back on without reinstallation.

  Smart app control can be reconfigured without having to reinstall the OS by using gpedit.
