Your web server reports that it is running on Windows. If this is really the case, please be advised that the Fix Permissions button never did anything at all on Windows servers because there is no such thing as permissions on Windows. Windows has ACLs (access control lists) which cannot be managed through PHP software since neither PHP offers such an interface nor would an unprivileged user account (the one under which your web server is running) be able to modify Windows file system ACLs: only an Administrator account can do that.
If you are certain you are not on a Windows server you will have to ask SiteGround for support. Please tell them that we are using the following code to check for Windows servers:
if (strtoupper(substr(PHP_OS, 0, 3)) !== 'WIN')
The PHP_OS constant
must never begin with WIN on a Linux-powered server. The very reason for its existence is allowing developers to detect the underlying operating system, therefore it must never lie.
