Activating an FA Infinite Loop

I've been trying to code my 2018 F34 and have had no issues connecting to it or reading the FA or SVT, but when I go to activate the FA to code changes it doesn't seem to be working. When I click activate, the progress bar comes up and just keeps looping through. I've tried many times now letting the longest run for about a half hour. Between attempts I've tried both Esys 3.28.1 and 3.30.0 running through Launcher Pro 2.8.2. Reinstalling, restarting my computer, and letting the car sit for a couple of hours then returning hasn't helped. I'll likely restart my computer yet again and give it another go in the morning after everything's sat for a while, but if anyone has any ideas I'm all ears. Thanks

This is exactly what I experienced. This sounds dumb, but run the esys launcher pro as admin.

That did the trick! Thanks and yeah it does seem dumb, I can't believe I didn't think to try it.
