Hey @BadWolf_Gaming,

I saw your post and wanted to help troubleshoot your AMP instance startup issue. The error suggests that the instance belongs to BlueBeast, but AMP is running as BLUEBEAST$, causing a permissions conflict.

Steps to Fix:

  1. Run AMP as Administrator – Right-click the AMP executable and select Run as Administrator to ensure it has the correct permissions.
  2. Check Instance Ownership in AMP – Open AMP’s Instance Manager and verify which user owns the instance.
  3. Manually Adjust Permissions – If AMP is running under a different user, try changing the instance ownership using:
    ampinstmgr reassignto BlueBeast
  4. Check Windows User Accounts – Open Local Users and Groups (lusrmgr.msc) and confirm that BlueBeast and BLUEBEAST$ are correctly configured.
  5. Upgrade AMP – Since this issue was reported in 2022, upgrading to the latest AMP version may resolve any underlying permission bugs.

Let me know if any of these steps help or if the issue persists—I’d be happy to troubleshoot further!

Cheers,
Francisco
