Please take a screen shot of this and send it to icomancer_support@lavasoftworks.com so we can figure out how to fix it.

That's UAC.

UAC on Windows 10 is even more painful for us with unsigned apps that Win8's UAC.

As per the exception you pasted, UAC isn't allowing icomancer to save its own settings file.

Please run icomancer as administrator (even if you are an administrator). That should fix it.
