have to use SaveAs
OK- thanks - even the smarter people than me are mystified by this behavior, so we’ll probably ask more useless questions until we get to the right one… so other saves from Rhino work as expected, Export, ViewCaptureToFile , even a Grasshopper document would be worth a try ?
Also, please run SystemInfo and post the results… you never know what plug-in might be getting involved somehow.
Does anything work differently if you run Rhino in Safe Mode, btw?
To start Rhino in Safe Mode: Windows start menu, type in ‘Rhinoceros’ and look for the ‘Rhinoceros in Safe Mode’ entry.
-Pascal
other saves work as intended, safe mode still read only, thanks

When this is done try opening and saving a file and let me know if it makes a difference. I would not recommend leaving this option off as a long term to your problem but am interested to know if it affects the save behavior.
Thanks for the report and details - we can repeat this here now.

I am having the same issue. I have the latest version of Rhino 7. I am not able to save my file.
Hi -
Do you have this issue with any file?
Please run the Rhino SystemInfo command and copy-paste the result here.

My machine is managed by my school - I will see if this can be removed. Is this what is causing the issue?
Not necessarily, but I believe we have had reports where disabling that helped in similar cases.
Hello All, Rhino 7 SR21 2022-7-27 (Rhino 7, 7.21.22208.13001) - Windows 10 as of 8-12-2022 I keep getting the “Save As” error 'cuz “File opened in read-only mode”. I followed this thread and tried to uncheck the File locking as per RH-59194 post in YouTrack. Any updates on how to fix it or I’m doing it wrong? I reinstalled it twice already but nothing seems to work so far - thanks.
Try checking the Enable File locking then uncheck the Display read-only open warning, then uncheck the Enable.
Thanks - I did what you suggested Japhy above, and problem persists. I’ve uninstalled my Rhino 7 and download the Trial version of 7 as well but the same issue is happening. What I just noticed is the following: I opened the file, work on it and I can save it once, then keep working on it but cannot save it a second time (Ctrl+S), and that’s when the “File Save Error” warning shows up and check the images below: If go to the file, right click>>> Properties>>>Security, The Permissions “disappear” after I try to save the same file a second time.
To make matters worse, If I keep saving the file a second time with another name so that to avoid the “File Save Error” the Group or user names: also change, and the check marks become darker.
So, the file needs to be saved “analogously” with different name.
Not sure who can shade some light into this, thanks.
This seems like a Windows User Control issue.
Lets try SR20 before messing with the User Account Control.
I’m on SR24 and also have this problem. I’ve noticed that the .3dmbak file saved alongside the main file can be opened without issue. I’ve taken to opening those when the main file becomes locked and then saving as with a new filename.
I have yet to try every fix mentioned here as I’ve been coping well enough using the backups. I should mention that this was an issue before upgrading to SR24 (I don’t know what version I upgraded from) but not when I originally installed R7 on this computer maybe two years ago.
Here’s systeminfo in case it’s helpful:

You’ve got issues here. It appears you are running off a 1 GB video card with a 2018 driver (OpenGL1.1). Is there another video card on your machine that isn’t functioning properly? Are up to date on your windows updates?
