I have changed my "TEMP" system environment variable to "C:\TEMP". Now the conversion procedure works:

C:\TEMP>echo %temp%
C:\TEMP

C:\TEMP>cd /test

C:\test>magick test.pdf test.jpg

BTW, it seems that as a normal user I am also allowed to write inside c:\windows\temp

C:\test>cd %systemroot%\temp ...

Both directories are there; is this important?

c:\temp>echo %temp%

C:\WINDOWS\TEMP

c:\temp>cd \windows\temp

c:\Windows\Temp>dir
Volume in drive C is WINDOWS
Volume Serial Number is 623A-26AE
Directory of c:\Windows\Temp

c:\TEMP>magick Document.pdf Document.jpg

Dear snibgo, I confirm that your solution does work in my system:

c:\test>set MAGICK_TEMPORARY_PATH=.

c:\test>magick test.pdf test.png

c:\test>magick Document.pdf Document.png

c:\test>dir *.png
Volume in drive C is WINDOWS
Volume Serial Number is 623A-26AE

Directory of c:\test

Dear fmw42,
I removed both IM and GS. Installed GS 9.25. Installed IM again.
After restarting WIN10 this is the outcome in my Terminal:

>magick -list configure

In 64-bit Windows 10, with ImageMagick 7.0.8-11 Q16 x64 and GPL Ghostscript 9.19 (64-bit) I can convert pdf to png with gs (gs bin directory is in the path):

>gswin64c -q -dQUIET -dSAFER -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -dNOPROMPT -dMaxBitmap=500000000 -dAlignToPixels=0 -dGridFitTT=2 "-sDEVICE=pngalpha ...
