[Elecraft] problem downloading new (current) firmware from kx3 FTP site.

[Tom Doligalski]

This is called Controlled Folder Access. I usually switch this off for using apps like the utility files, and turn it back on when I am done.

I don't have the KX3 Utility but the K3 utility has an option to place downloaded files somewhere in the User directory.  Windows should accommodate this by setting up a directory in C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData.  Check that out and see if it helps.
