Why can't I create files on the Documents library using CreateFile2 even with the right appx.manifest?

Question

Hi.

I am using some flat apis for doing SQLite and logs(logs for debugging just) and my libs would use CreateFile. I have changed this to CreateFile2, but even so I am not allowed to create files on the Documents library using this api.

The only place in which I am allowed to create it is in the LocalState and RoamingState on the AppData. In any other place I get "Access is denied." Why?

 

Thank you.

So, as can be seen CreateFile2 can just be used for writing in the AppData, not in in the libraries.

 

Thnak you.
