As an aside, thanks for posting this as I wasn't previous aware of recursive_directory_iterator and have been implementing the recursion myself. Pete On Tue, 20 Nov 2018 at 15:44, Richard Závodný via Boost-users < boost-users@lists.boost.org> wrote:

Thank you, looks like you were right. I ran it outside Visual Studio with admin rights, but when I ran it in Visual Studio developer console (also with admin rights) before (when I tried to solve it with degski), I couldn't manage to make it work. Right now it looks like problem is solved, but it is weird it needs administrator rights, as I can iterate subdirectory on that specific drive (E:) without them. Weird. Thank you both for your time. :)
Got it now! Win10 is particularly picky about running stuff [or changing/deleting files] in the root of drives [less so about doing the same thing in folders], and always asks for elevated privileges [even though it shouldn't, as I've turned that off in UAC].
I can run the [any] program simply from within the IDE. I now realized that I [always] run VS20XX with elevated rights [through a short-cut], so that this problem does not show up [I must have run into this already (long time ago), I guess].
You can change the elevation of the short-cut [and therefor the program] by right-clicking the shortcut, Properties -> Shortcut -> Advanced (button), tick the box "Run as administrator" -> OK. This way it will simply run from the IDE and you'll be able to debug as well.
