I installed Windchill 11.0 on a test system and loaded base data. The system starts and I can login. However, if I shutdown Windchill or log off that computer, Windchill will not start again. The MethodServer log file shows this error:

I have looked at other responses to this error, but they all are from a rehost, not a clean install.
Solved! Go to Solution.
As it looks like the Windows user which starts Windchill has not access to this folder:
E:\ptc\Windchill_11\Windchill\tasks\codebase\com\infoengine\compiledTasks\file\E$3a$5cptc$5cWindchill_11$5cWindchill$5ctasks\wt\federation\.lock (Access is denied)
So the easiest thing it to go the folder E:\ptc and give the System (or the user which starts Windchill) full rights to all subfolders and files
