Somewhat unregularly recurring issue with updating yt-dlp and ffmpeg #315

Yesterday I was able to update both yt-dlp and ffmpeg without issues, but today I got message on the progress bar when trying to update yt-dlp, which said: "failed to move yt-dlp.exe to set folder: access denied", yet I've changed nothing in permissions since the yesterday update. I was able to update yt-dlp via CMD without issues. The ffmpeg didn't show update since yesterday yet, but would assume it may also fail due to same reason as yt-dlp failed.

This used to be a problem during later half of the last year, but was fixed after the yt-dlp interface was updated to its current 2.12.2 version, so I'm surprised that the issue would reappear suddenly out of nowhere. Updating yt-dlp (nightly) with CMD isn't much of an issue after all, but ffmpeg takes a little more effort, but for the convenience it would be great if there would be a solution to enable updates from within the yt-dlp interface for both of the applications.

Thank you anyway for yt-dlp interface, it's very nicely done in general and helps a lot in its intended purpose of use.
