error in nvda when a message gains focus in outlook #17246

Steps to reproduce:

On a machine where I have Outlook installed, when I open a message box in Outlook, and there is a message receiving focus, an nvda error appears.

Errors in 'nvda_slave.exe'

x

The logfile 'D:\Users\fernando.silva.LARAMARA\AppData\Roaming\nvda_slave.log' could not be opened: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'D:\Users\fernando.silva.LARAMARA\/ pp .* ata\Roaming\nvda_slave.log'

OK
Sorry for the way I copied the error, but at this point NVDA becomes completely inactive. I couldn't copy the error with the narrator. I had to use Seeing a i to take a picture of the computer screen and copy the identified text.
The file referenced in the error does not exist.

Actual behavior:

nvda is completely frozen, does not read anything, does not execute a single command.

Expected behavior:

The error does not occur.
If the error occurs, nvda should not be completely frozen.
I have not noticed this error on any other screen.
After closing the error, it is displayed again.
After that, everything works correctly until Outlook is closed and reopened.

cc: @michaelDCurran, @seanbudd, @gerald-hartig for triaging. I saw this error also from time to time, it might be something related to NVDA running without admin privileges on a Windows user account that is not an admin which most usual in corporate environments.

Or there might be partition restrictions and NVDA cannot write its log to the partition...
