zotero database upgrade error

Database upgrade error

Error: Error(s) encountered during statement execution: attempt to write a readonly database [QUERY: DELETE FROM itemTypesCombined] [PARAMS: ] [ERROR: attempt to write a readonly database]
Zotero.DBConnection.prototype.queryAsync@chrome://zotero/content/xpcom/db.js:680:13
From previous event:
ZoteroService@file:///C:/Program%20Files%20(x86)/Zotero/components/zotero-service.js:347:7
@chrome://zotero/content/include.js:4:14

I have been getting this error very often lately on opening the app, even when I've just closed it a few minutes ago and it was working just fine. This usually fixes itself when I restart my computer or reconnect to internet. But these fixes aren't working today, and this is immensely annoying. How can I fix this permanently? Is there any way to permanently stop these upgrades?
  • Yea it just fixed itself again, but still :(

    This would be due to permissions or security software on your system interfering with Zotero, or storing the data directory in some unusual storage location (e.g., in a cloud storage folder or on a network drive). It's obviously not something that happens in a normal Zotero installation.
