    I can't save new files


    I was writing a docx file in Word, and when I was going to save the document on the Desktop, it said "File not found. Check the name and try again." What does that even mean? If the file with the same name already exists, it will ask me to replace it, but in this case, there were none. It won't let me save screenshots either. Basically, I can't save a file that is new. I can't even save pictures from websites to desktop.

    When I try to edit an existing file and save it, it says that I don't have permission to do so.


    C:\file_path.txt
    You do not have permission to open this file. See the owner of the file or an administrator to obtain permission.

    Windows Update:


    You are up to date.

    Saves log files ?

    You can either read the files in Windows or my preferred method is.....

    Download CCcleaner from here...........

    CCleaner Professional | Try the world’s most trusted PC cleaner, free!

    You can then run cleaner, you will see the log files listed, then if you right click you can save as a text file and then have a read. You may also get an "error reporting" log listed seperatly.

    Where are Windows TEN "restore files" saved/stored on Windows 10


    Is there an info file showing steps 1,2,3,4,etc what is suggested to be done, saved, and or backed-up right after a new Upgrade to Win 10 has been done.

    Thanks for your comments..
