Yes this is a new install for 2019. The service is running as the system account so write permissions shouldn't be an issue.

We have been running Xymon PS client on 2019 for over a year. Is this a new install for you on 2019? We run it in a separate folder c:\Utils, not Program Files to allow User permissions. Check permissions on that folder that XymonPS can write logs and download the clientconfig from Xymon if you have it set to remote.
