I have Drupal 8.4 running on Windows Server 2016, and when trying to use an upload field on a content type I get this error

The file phpC128.tmp could not be saved. An unknown error has occurred.
File upload error. Could not move uploaded file.

I deleted the files folder and the account PHP is running under, recreated it for this month as expected, but this still errors out. I see the file in c:\windows\temp, but it doesn't make it to my site folder. The account has full control to the files and 2018-06 folders.

In IIS, the AppPool is running under ApplicationPoolIdentity as well.

    That error usually suggests the server can't write to the target folder - to debug, add a tiny standalone vanilla PHP file to the project which writes a file to the public files folder. If that works fine, you know the problem is somewhere in Drupal, otherwise it's folder permissions or some other environmental factor

Moving the file path from `c:\windows\temp' to another location, and after setting the IUSR permissions on that new folder, it worked as expected!
