Same. I'm also getting this Access denied error, jus tafter updating from a pretty old version, when playing a certain game that has administrator rights. Why did it work before I updated, I don't know. Hoping for a fix :) Edit: Tried running aw with administrator rights. It is a fix but it is not optimal...
