Every time I try to save the document, I keep receiving an error message …
Error saving the document Untitled 2:
Write Error.
Error writing file.
How do I fix this issue?
To fix the issue, we need to know OS name, LO version and save format. How did you install LO? Have an antivirus program active?
Windows 11, is the OS,
The LO version is: Version: 7.6.3.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 29d686fea9f6705b262d369fede658f824154cc0
CPU threads: 2; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 22621; UI render: Skia/Vulkan; VCL: win
Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded
I don’t have a antivirus program active and I went to the website and downloaded it.
Where do you attempt to save the file? In one of your directories? Or does the dialog point by default on some system directory which you’re allowed to write?
If you don’t have a third party anti virus then Windows Defender will control access.
Click Start menu > Settings > Privacy & Security > Windows Security > Virus & threat protection > Manage ransomware protection > Allow an app through Controlled folder access then OK the User Account Control dialogue.
Click Add an allowed app > Recently blocked apps and click the + next to the soffice.bin nearest the top of the list to add it to the allowed list
NB: You could, instead of selecting Recently blocked apps, select Browse all apps and navigate to C:\Program Files\LibreOffice\program\ and select or type in soffice.bin
