Rhino 7 files opening exclusively as Read-Only

Suddenly every file I open and try to Save asks me to SaveAs instead, saying they are Read-Only. Even if I SaveAs with a new name, the file will fail to open. Any ideas as to why this is happening and how to fix it? File locking is unchecked and disabled.

Hi Michael - my colleagues suggest there may be a setting for
“Windows file security”
in
Settings > Privacy > File System (at the bottom)

that can be set sometimes by ‘IT’ fussing around.

Anything there that helps?

Hi Pascal,

Thanks for the reply. Settings > Privacy & Security > File System seems to only offer me two options to toggle on or off; “File system access” and “Let apps access your file system” (which expands to include Remote Desktop). Both of which were on. Is there anything else/more specific I should be looking for?

I have no IT so fortunately no one is able to fuss with the computer. It did update itself over the weekend but the problem started just prior.

Anything helps, this problem is making it almost impossible to use the program currently.

Michael

Hi Michael, can you please run SystemInfo in Rhino and copy/paste the results here?

In Rhino, click Tools > Options In the Advanced tab, type WriteLocal in the Filter edit box. Clear the checkbox Click OK
After the file fails to save, run the test command TestLocalTempWriteDebug
