After installing BS2 on W10, for some reason it has default documents folder in the root of my documents. When trying to switch to a new folder, the program just hangs forever.

This is the same if I try both inside or outside the documents folder, for instance d:\documents\beersmith2, or d:\beersmith2. It just hangs.

I've tried running as administrator, but same thing happens.
 
You can actually manually force it to use a different directory though it should not be needed in most cases.

Run Regedit as an administrator and go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\BeerSmith2 and create a string entry called "Directory" there.  Give it a value of the full path to your desired directory such as "C:\Users\Brad\Documents\BeerSmith2"

Next create that directory (make sure it exists) and then run BeerSmith2 - it should start up with a clean data setup in that directory.
