Updates and cleanup fail with Failed to run the WC DB work queue associated with.... Access is denied

[jackc...@gmail.com]

I've been losing my mind since a week ago when all of a sudden when updating a repository on a SAMBA drive suddenly gave me this error:

I am running Windows 10 Pro with a desktop and have also a laptop I work with. 

Right now every time I do an update with my desktop and some files were changed, I can see the files getting updated in the tortoise SVN UI, followed by a delay of maybe 10 seconds and then always get the  "Failed to run the WC DB....".

The only way I can get out of this is to go on my laptop and perform the same operation.

I have tried disabling my anti-virus (the same I have been using for years without problem), I've even uninstalled it. I have uninstalled all the windows apps that I wasn't using regularly just in case.

I've downgraded TortoiseSVN, re-installed.... I'm basically running out of ideas.

I am using the same account on both my desktop and laptop and the same samba share on both systems. I've run out of ideas in terms of how to find the root cause of this problem.

I am right now using TortoiseSVN version 1.13.1 64 bits.

Any ideas would be awesome.

Thanks

Jack

Not a surprise:

Also don't keep working copies on network shares:

Now that was soooo helpful. Why even bother responding with that sort of useless comment anyway?

As long as we're posting links to a FAQ I've already read... you can always try to get this whole section removed:

What were they thinking when they wrote that!?!?
