i was having the same issue where addon's wouldnt update, then when you made the comment about minion not being able to write to the addon folder it triggered a memory i had of trying to modify one of my settings in eso and not having permission to save no matter what i did, so i went to the root cause of it and figured out what the problem was. In windows 10 onedrive and homegroup have conflicting issues for permissions on certain folders, the documents folder being one of them. I found the solution which allows you to take ownership of the documents folder so that everything you do has permission to write within the folder. All you need to do is follow this guide on taking ownership of folders then minion will work flawlessly. i updated all my addons in less than 3 seconds after taking ownership of the documents folder, prior to that i was unable to update whatsoever
