gdb in Code::Blocks failed to run

Question

After debugging for some hours, I am unable to debug my project I'm making anymore for the following reasons. (It compiles smoothly without errors nor warnings from the compiler.)

Problem #1:

Error creating process d:\My Documents\Downloads\CandyCrush\CandyCrush\bin\debug\CandyCrush.exe, (error 5).

Solutions:

I followed the suggestions here and here, so I think it fixed one thing. ('spaces' in environment path)
Reboot the computer to ensure that the path is made available to all processes properly as suggested here. (Although its somewhat not really related to my problem)
Change the directory of my IDE along with the compiler.
Change the directory of the project I'm working on.
Delete and reinstall MinGW.
Delete and reinstall Code::Blocks.

And it changes the problem.

(take note that I always try to debug and run after each solutions)

Problem #2:

Starting debugger: D:\cb\CodeBlocks\MingGW\bin\gdb.exe -nx -fullname -quiet -args D:/CandyCrush/CandyCrush/bin/Debug/CandyCrush.exe failed

Solution:

Configure manually the path of debugger from the IDE (it says it can't find the file but it is there(?)) so it does fixed it.

Aaaand the first problem return again, so I think I really mess up things here.

What could be the fix?

PS. I'm using GNU gdb (GDB) 7.5

I assume you're running on Windows - error 5 is access denied. Is there actually a file at D:\CandyCrush\CandyCrush\bin\Debug\CandyCrush.exe and if so does it have any unusual permissions? Why does the first error message in your question mention a different path than in the debug log, d:\My Documents\Downloads\CandyCrush\CandyCrush\bin\debug\CandyCrush.exe? — Michael Burr

@MichaelBurr because I already changed its path to no-spaces one — mr5

Do you have an antivirus that might be interfering with running the CandyCrush.exe program? — Michael Burr

@MichaelBurr Avira Free AV? Ahmm. I can run CandyCrush.exe in OS but not in gdb.exe? — mr5

This isn't good at all. After resting the IDE(compiler, debugger, editor) for some hours, it magically works again. I didn't close any application or reboot the computer.

Also It's because of Game Guard or Anti Virus
