Error message: "Encountered an improper argument"

New computer. Windows 10. This happens when I try to save anything in Buzz:

If it's likely to be a case of missing dll's or c++ redistributables, I could use some specifics (and ideally help finding the right ones), because I feel like I've tried all those things, and if I missed something, I'm not sure what.
Not sure what else it could be. I'm at a bit of a loss.

How stable is Buzz x64? That's one thing can think of that I haven't tried. That and compatibility modes, I guess.

Okay, this is weird. I tried saving on a different hard drive, and there was no error. Why would it be happening only on the hard drive where I keep my buzz project folder?

User permissions/disk access when saving might be set wrong for Buzz?
