Are you using windows? Many anti-virus programs now protect the My Documents and some other folders from Ransomware by making them Read-only and allowing only certain programs to access them.

If you have Windows Defender (included with Windows) then this should help you change the settings Defender Controlled folder access exception for LibreOffice - The Document Foundation Wiki

If you have Avast (or AVG) the settings are under Ransomware Protection (or Shield), Allowed Progams or something similar.and allow the LibreOffice programs. Cheers, Al

I should probably add that updates to Windows over the last few weeks have changed some Windows and Windows Defender settings causing problems for some users
