1. Game only runs in background and does not completely launch

    Hi,

    Good day to all of you!

    I was able to play yesterday just fine. Now, I tried to play again and launch the game and there was a pop-up saying :

    Data/enGB/wow-update-enGB-18273.MPQ: World of Warcraft can’t make a required change to an archive file. Be sure you have write permission for the World of Warcraft folder or try running the game in administrator mode. For more information, see: https://battle.net/support/article/6910

    I am not sure why this error occurred. It will just stay in the background visible through Task Manager.

    What I did so far:
    1. Run the game as an admin
    2. Selective Start Up
    3. Disabled Firewall

    I tried and tried and tried but it keeps on happening.

    I am using a laptop, windows 10. Hope this information helps.

    Can some one help me fix this issue please?

    Thank you so much in advance!!

  2. follow these steps:
    1) Restart your PC
    2) close your Torrent client and move your WoW folder away from your Torrent's download destination
    3) now right click on WoW folder> Properties> remove "read-only"

  3. Hey,
