saving letters from NOTEPAD

Hi Ron,



This issue is quite unclear and too broad for us to distinguish the main reason why you are having challenges/concerns with using
Notepad. To have a better understanding of your concerns, we'd like to ask you some questions:

• Do you have an Office program installed on your computer? This enables the
  Clipboard feature to let you copy and paste texts.
• What is your method of copying a text?
• In what program are you trying to attempt to paste your letters copied from
  Notepad?

• What were the recent changes made on your computer before you experienced this issue?
• What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?
• Did you receive any error messages?

In addition, you can read our forum guidelines here:

Your response will be much appreciated.

 

Access to Notepad denied after EVERY log in to Win 10.

I also tried to find the notepad icon (as suggested by another source) in C;\Windows\Systems32 but could not get it to accept notepad.exe

 

Intermittent Issues with Permissions and Saving

Hi Human,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

1. Since when are you facing this issue?
   
2. Have you recently made any changes on the device prior to this issue?
   
3. Does this issue occur only with the particular application?
   

Step 1

Open the notepad application, try to save a test file and check if you are able to save the file. If you still gets the same error, then follow the bellow suggestions.



Try the below suggested step to verify whether if you have logged in as an administrator.

Step 2

1. Open the run command (Windows + R key). Type in “Netplwiz” and click on
   Enter to open the User Account settings box.
   
2. Now select the user account that is giving you the error message.
   
3. Click on Properties button and click on
   Group Membership tab.
   
4. Here you can set the level of access that you want to give the user.
   
5. Select Administrator and click
   Apply/Ok and exit.
   

Restart your computer and check the status of the issue.



Step 3

Sometimes the user profile corruption might also be the possible cause for this issue. Hence you may try creating a new user profile and check the status of the issue.



Refer the article Create a local user or administrator account in
Windows 10.



You may also refer "Access Denied" or other errors
when you access or work with files and folders in Windows for more information about the permission issues.





Hope it helps.
