Read Only

[Janet Monk <ja...@gmail.com>]

Since installing Windows 10 all my Open Office files have become “read
only” and can not be edited or saved in Documents and my databases seem to
be blocked. How can I resolve this problem?

Hi all,
I have been a silent reader of all the mails on this list. I have been
reading these "read only" errors in past few days and I wanted to share my
experience with windows.
When I had windows 8 then every now and then some of my files which were in
C drive turned to read only. After that I started using other drives only
and the problem subsided.
After upgrading that to windows 8.1, again many of my files in C changed to
read only.
These read only caused some applications to crash when trying to open in
write mode without administrator rights.
The cure was to change the properties of individual files and give right to
current user also.
.
By all this, I just wanted to make the point that turning files into read
only is perhaps an inherent windows problem and not of any other
application as AOO.
.
Regards,
Abhinav

thanks for your report. Currently we cannot reproduce reports about 
read-only documents or other problems after the PC was upgraded to or 
installed with Windows 10.

Therefore please can you answer some questions? Maybe it's then easier 
to come to the root cause:

1) What version of Windows did you upgrade from?

2) Is it 32 bit or 64 bit?

3) Which of the three Windows 10 upgrade options did you do?
a) Fresh install
b) Preserve Data and Programs
c) Preserve data only

4) Where were the documents stored that AOO sees as read-only?
a) Local HD
b) USB stick
c) Network drive
d) Cloud storage

5) Do you see this problem with other applications and their
documents, or only with AOO?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Marcus
