Where is vault stored? Are you using cloud services?

Does the sandbox vault work? Does obsidian work if you create your vault somewhere else.

3

It’s stored on my hard drive, it’s not associated with a cloud account. I used the sandbox vault version, and everything is working correctly.

4

What is the path to the root of your vault?

5

C:\Users\cesar\Documents\cesar pc

Perhaps something in one of these discussions will help: Search results for 'ENOENT' - Obsidian Forum

I already searched in the forums and tried, but it doesn’t work. The strange thing is that I had to install version 1.3.5, then it updated to 1.4.13, and it works. But the same program is forcing me to download the 1.4.13 installer; I don’t know what to do.

8

What program is forcing you to download the newer installer?

Whatever it is, it’s probably doing it because 1.4.13 was a security update. Obsidian 1.4.13 Desktop (Public) - Obsidian

How can you vault root be

If the error message says
image

I suggest you set the vault root as subdirectory of Documents and again make sure you don’t have onedrive active on it.
