[Solved] Why "save" option works like "save as"

Post by semih »

Hello,
When I make changes to a document and want to save it, it asks where I want to save the document and what format I want it to be. I don't want it to ask anything, I just want it to save it. What should I do?
Thanks.

Have you already Saved As, giving a filename and file type?

Then you may not have write permissions to overwrite the file.

Very logical, thank you. And this happens even when that file is not open by a different program at that time. But LibreOffice was also installed on the computer, so I guess that's why everything happened. So how can I give write permission?

I haven't used Windows in a long time (years); I think the write permissions may be controlled by Windows Defender.
