    Unable To Save To Desktop

    All of a sudden I'm unable to save any kind of file to various folders on my computer, including c:\users\me\desktop. Also unable to be saved to is c:\users\me\downloads. Other locations under c:\users\me are, however, okay.

    When I create a new file (say, a text file in Notepad) and try to save it to c:\users\me\desktop I get the following popup:


    Unable to save Files on Desktop [​IMG]


    Note that the popup is headed 'Save As', but I get it when I try to save any file that doesn't already exist on the desktop.

    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.

    unable to save a file in Windows 10

    Hi,

    I realize that you are unable to save a file. I will try to help you with this issue.

    Please answer these questions to get more clarity on this issue:


    • Did you make any changes to the PC prior to this issue?

    • Have you installed all the pending updates on the PC?

    Suggest you to save a file in notepad to test if that helps.

    Close all open windows and restart the PC to login to another user account to test if that helps.

    Keep us informed to help you further.
