Getting An Error While Loading

[AaronBerry]

I’m getting a “Write Error: The file couldn’t be written” every time I load a spreadsheet, and some of my documents files are getting the same error. I’m using v.7.6.4.1. Yeah, I know it’s an older version. But I was waiting for a bug to get resolved.

I then reloaded Windows 11, and now I can use the spreadsheet and my documents. What could be the problem, I’m only using v.7, because in the past I was waiting for a bug (which I no longer remember), was getting resolved.

Any ideas?

Possibly anti-ransomware settings, see Defender Controlled folder access exception for LibreOffice - The Document Foundation Wiki . Or check the documentation for whatever other antivirus you are using.

When you open a file, LibreOffice needs to write a lock file to the same folder as the file, if it is blocked from doing that you should get an error message.
