Specified folder does not exist error for all folders

Hi all,

I'm trying to write a video File from images. The script used to work but I've since updated to windows 10 and reinstalled MATLAB and I am getting the following error:

" Error using SV_Video_Capture (line 52)

The specified folder, D:\OneDrive\OneDrive - XXXX\Documents\MATLAB, does not exist "

SV_Video_Capture is the name of the script.

The Code it relates to is:

VidName = strcat('Test','.avi') ;

f = fullfile(userpath,VidName);

outputVideo = VideoWriter(f) ; This is line 52.

The script is throwing this error regardless of what I change the path to in fullfile (I was usiung userpath as it's a default search directory) this includes just using cd. Matlab can "see" the folder and knows it exists as running exist returns 7 - meaning the folder is there.

Any help would be much appreciated.

This might be a problem with OneDrive folders. Did you see this already: https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/354614-cd-to-onedrive-doesn-t-work-on-windows-10-build-16273-1 ?

"throwing this error regardless of what I change the path to in fullfile" - Then please post, which other pathes are failing. Where exactly is the userpath? On the OneDrive again?

I have solved this - it was my own error. When entering the filename I had it surrounded by quote marks - not inverted commas.

Thank you for your quick reply regardless.
