TShock TShock unable to write to ServerLog.txt on launch

TShock version: 1.4.4.8.1 TShock build number (if known): Current public release

Description of isssue: For some reason, since the coding switch happened for the 1.4.4 release, I've been having troubles with TShock being unable to run due to having issues trying to write/create ServerLog.txt in the install directory. I've made an exception in my AV, I've ran as Admin, I've ran in compatibility mode, but nothing works. I end up needing to use Windows 10's Troubleshooter to get it to run. Initially, the OS tries to use the Windows 8 Compatibility, crash occurs, tell it to move on, changes to Win 7 + Admin Privileges, then it magically runs. I have to do this EVERY time I relaunch TShock.

OS: Windows 10 (x64) UAC: Admin Account AV: AVG

Reproduction steps (if applicable)?

Upgrade install/Fresh install (both work, no plugins)
Attempt to launch TShock from TShock.Server.exe
Wait a few seconds.
TShock throws the error.

Fatal startup exception. Could not write to "ServerLog.txt". Exception details:

Do not put TShock on your desktop: Windows does not like it. Put it somewhere such as: C:/TShock/*

I've always had TShock on my Desktop. Previous to the coding switch, I never had any issues with TShock doing this.

There were already users reporting the issue on TShock 4. It is unlikely an issue on our side or on TShock 5. It's possible you changed a Windows setting to allow TerrariaServer.exe, but not TShock.Server.exe. However, it's hard to say for sure.

Nope, I haven't tinkered with my OS's settings at all. The most I've done is run compatibility mode, and run as Admin.
