I got the following errors while running gnucash --add-price-quotes (under
windows environment)

WARN <gnc.core-utils> Could not kill child process: Access is denied.
ERROR <gnc.scm> There was a system error while retrieving the price quotes.

The system was working perfectly fine the day before. I hard reset the PC
once as it was completely frozen.

Any idea how to fix it ?

Hi Davy,

Have you just upgraded to GnuCash 3.905?
It now gives an error message if you need an Alpha Vantage API key and the
args for getting quotes from a batch job have changed.

Try running Get Quotes from within GnuCash to see if there is an error msg.
