"failed to connect to running instance; QLocalSocket::connectToServer: Access denied"

I keep getting "failed to connect to running instance; QLocalSocket::connectToServer: Access denied" when trying to use nexus download with manager for files. Occasionally everythng works as expected. I tried to force the nexus version to 0.51.0 in Mod Organizer which did not help.

Most likely you have MO running started as administrator but your browser is running as a regular user. This won't work.

I would like to say thank you to all who have contributed to this wiki.  It is the most organized group of individuals I've ever seen!  I would like to contribute somehow!.  However, I'd like to start my first post by saying that this solution worked for me as well.  I am a local administrator but still need to open IE using run as administrator.  Thank you very much.
