I have Norton 360 controlling everything. "Manage settings" on virus & threat protection settings is not available.

I didn't see anything specifically about Norton 360 in my Googling, but I did see mentions of a few other AV programs causing this kind of problem.

Might want to boot into Safe Mode (aka with no Norton 360 running) and see if a text file will save to the Desktop.

In my case, 'save as' defaults to the original location when an existing file is opened from Explorer with 'open with' or from inside Notepad, and only remembers the 'last saved place' for newly created files. Mind you, I am not sure it is consistent that way.

Mine does that as well. Default saves to where ever I created or opened the text file.

Yes my "Desktop" is already in my file explorer pinned to quick access.
