  • Joplin v2.8.8
  • OS: Win11 Pro

After inputting the dev mode command, I have the below result:

[2416:0928/192432.631:ERROR:cache_util_win.cc(20)] Unable to move the cache: Access is denied. (0x5)

I can see the dev panel when mouse hovering the shortcut, but no response when clicked:

Any suggestion? Thanks!

These lines caught my eye.

I don't have access to Windows 11, is anyone else who has it able to access dev mode? It is fine for me on 10.

This is no problem, I have the same Msg on my Win 11 machines, but the dev mode is working.
Did you build the app from the source or did you run only the dev command (Joplin.exe --env dev) on the pre build app?

Sorry, I'm a beginner, what do you mean by "build the app from the source"? I usually develop my plugin without any problem in the dev mode. And I only run the command which copy from the Joplin app to open dev mode.

If you have build/compiled your own Joplin version from the GitHub source code.
At the moment I have no idea what the problem could be. You can try to rename or delete your %USERPROFILE%\.config\joplindev-desktop folder and try again.

I see, thanks! And I didn't do it.

After removing that folder, the error msg is gone, but the problem is still here. And I've also tried to reinstall Joplin, still the same.
