cannot open output file 23single.exe: Permission denied collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status code example
Example: cannot open output file main.exe: permission denied collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status
I had exactly the same problem right after switching off some (in my opinion unneccessary) Windows services. It turned out that when I switched ON again the "Application Experience" everything resumed working fine.
May be you simply have to turn on this service? To switch ON Application Experience:
Click the Windows start buttonn.
In the box labeled "Search programs and files" type services.msc and click the search button. A new window with title "Services" opens.
Right click on "Application Experience" line and select "Properties" from popup menu.
Change Startup type to "Automatic (delayed start)".
Restart computer.
Application Experiences should prevent the problem in the future.
