I had this issue when trying to flash raspbian to a 32gb sandisk sd card on Win10 You’re not authorized to perform this operation Please ensure you have necessary permissions for this task

Fixed by temporarily turning off Win 10 Controlled File Access

open windows defender
open virus & threat protection
open ransomware protection
turn off controlled file access
Etcher was able to flash the raspbian image to the sd card
turn controlled file access back on

Yeah, I’ll close this for now; please comment & reopen should this come up again with Etcher v1.3.1+
