qBittorrent & operating system versions

Program version 4.3.9
Windows 10 (10.0.1xxxx)

What is the problem?

When I try to start a new download. It gives me an error complete with typo.
"Errored: the system cannot find the path specified"

This has never been an issue before. I have always been able to create new folders within the preview window. I am even getting the error when I'm not trying to create a new folder. The location does exist and it should start the download.
This is happening for 100% of torrents all of a sudden.

Steps to reproduce

No response

Additional context

There is nothing wrong with my ssd or the chosen location. I have to right click the torrent and manually select the file location again then it works.

I figured out the actual bug. I notice that it cannot see the space on disk. When I go into the search for folder location and select it that way, it will then show the space on disk.

After selecting the file location and having it show disk space it started working again. I'm leaving the bug report because I'm sure there is something that can be optimized when it comes to disk handling.
