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.
