Permissions issue opening openmw.cfg

Gives traces resembling:

[error.cpp:24] Traceback (most recent call last):

I've been told this is likely related to Controlled Folder Access, a Windows security feature. Apparently, Microsoft thinks there's no legitimate reason to access a file in the Documents directory programmatically without having the user select it. For some reason, OpenMW's allowed to (I'm told a popup is displayed asking the user to give it permission) but when MO2 tries, the popup doesn't appear and it's just blocked.

I have a "[WinError 5] Access is Denied" error, but my Controlled Folder Access is turned off right now. How do I resolve this?

That's not the whole error, so I can't tell you anything until you share your interface log and tell me which button you'd just pressed right before this happened.
