    Unable to save excel worksheets or move /copy files


    I am running Win 10 v 1803 64 bit. All of a sudden, my excel files are coming up read only and I cannot save the changes I make. System won't allow me to move files saying I don't have permission. What?
    Will appreciate anyone's help on getting this cleaned up. Thanks.

    Are you using OneDrive to save your Office files? If so, this resolved the same issue for me:

    Disable (unselect) the highlighted selection in OneDrive settings:

    Restart computer, open Excel and one of files that was shown as read only. If it will now work as it should, and you are able to save / copy it, close the file, close Excel, and go back to OneDrive settings re-enabling the setting you disabled earlier.

    Now restart again.

    I am not saying this automatically fixes your issue, I am just saying it fixed it for me.
