Windows 10: How do I save the ORIGINAL file and stop creating new ones?

Recently got a PC with Windows 11 on it and every time I try to save a file, it wants to save it as a new, separate version of the old file so there would be two of the same file. I just want to save it as the ORIGINAL, without it bringing up a "save as" window, which has always been the case in previous Windows versions. How do I do this??

SAVE AS (original file is lost)

Hi,

Among many other problems with Windows10, trying to "SAVE AS" (OFFICE 2016, NOTEPAD, any) results in an EMPTY original document.



Example. "test.txt" (15 kb)

If I ‘save as’ a different name: "save as test.txt" (new name) I get 2 files:

File 1: The original (“test.txt”)

and

File 2: the new file (renamed) "save as test.txt" has 15 kb (new one)



File 1 (original) ("test.txt") is now empty. (0 kb)



I imagine there is a "workaround” of renaming the file after creating a new temporary file (having to close it etc.) but I do not have time for that.

PLEASE ADVISE!

Thank you



P.S. If this is already "exhausted" somewhere, please forgive me and post the link.

 

Creating an EXE with iexpress in Windows

Here is a quick list. *Toast :toast:

• Backup up the game folder inside the "Origin Games" folder.
  
• install origins on the new pc
• Start installing the game, then stop origins
• move the backup file to the new "Origin Games" folder.
• Start Origins and then right click the game and "repair install"
