It works on my end, what I did:

Started upp x5, slected the project in project selecttion. pressed on the right Rename button. Then changed name and pressed enter (or select another project. Project was normally renamed.

Maybe it was not closed correctly? I f above does not work, open project, then press save, then goto project selection and try again.

Try a restart of pc, then start x5 and rename project. Maybe some file is still in use somewhere.

As Andre said, this should not be an issue. There are 3 way to rename a project. Select it and click Rename

Simply select the name and edit it, or if neither works for you, close WX5, browse to the project folder with Windows Explorer and rename the project folder.

Assuming these projects are local (not "in the cloud"), is it possible that your anti-virus/firewall/malware/security protection is blocking such a change?

Jeff, did you try the 3rd option (outside of WX5)?

Jeff - there must be a 3rd party program blocking the process. To the best of my knowledge only you and Rene are having this issue I'm sorry.

If you run WX5 as administrator (right click, run as admin) does the process work?
