Can’t open or save files after upgrading to Windows 10

I do not use OneDrive. I want to save all my files on my Windows 10 laptop. The solutions offered do not work for saving Turbo Tax files on my PC.

More then a year after releasing windows 10 and Microsoft still has no answer to this problem THEY CREATED!

I HATE APPLE BUT MY NEXT LAPTOP WILL BE ONE!

Maxwell,

Why do you want us to use OneDrive. We just want to keep our files wherever we want; Do you have a fix for this .... after all these months waiting

You are right on the money...that you give to microsoft for programs that don't work. I have a fairly inexpensive lap-top that works like a charm (not ugly windows 8 charms). They are indeed pushing the use of One Drive for online storage.

Most users today have a bazillion gigabytes or terabytes already at their finger tips. We can use external flash drives, disks (I use DVD 4.GB), external hard drives, aside from the massive storage installed on modern computers.

That technology is personal and affordable. It is not lending our work projects to a mass public storage place. Google, Microsoft,  One Drive, Cloud, email programs and many others are trying to get online users to store their personal works on their devices.

I wonder if homeland security is initiating these data storage places to have users submit their detailed data? Maybe that is so they don't have to enter every PC for information. Are these online storage places used to profile users for marketing campaigns? My opinion is yes. Who else would be so innterested in offering users free storage space? That would be like letting everybody fill your house, basement and garage up with their junk as long as they want.

With mass storage devices, as mentioned, available for the home PC who needs One Drive? Microsoft has developed Office to crash when attempting to save files to computer. There is an alterior motive behind this and the redirect to the online storage at One Drive. That motive is not spelled out to us "consumer targets". Somebody wants to have access to our documents in detail?

THE RANT CONTINUES (if you want to read on)

This is a great place for all of us to scream at microsoft. With trillions of dollars in their pockets do they even care about a retired bum like me and my computer problems they generated?

My website directfromwestfourthblvd.com is still under construction. I depend on my Office 365 programs to work wiithout a hitch to get my merchandise descriptions edited and catalogs to keep track of the store inventory. When Word crashes accross all open files relevent to the project I feel a bit resentful to the developers who made such unreliable software.

Sometimes I wonder if security software fidgets with the ability to access research sites, and common software. I have had my security software interrupt me even when dealing with microsoft. Because of the mass paranoia from homeland security, internet security software is often suspicious of the most innocent websites. I switched back to McAffe because the Kaspersky security provided with my laptop was interrupting my daily work scedule every few minutes about potential dangers. Really? Super suspicious security software is more of a nuisance to ccommon users. If you have zillions of dollars to steal maybe you need that. I'm just another bum scratching for existence in the cyber world. If anybody wants to hack me they will walk away penniless and waste their time. I found using the McAfee program still gives me alerts but doesn't interrupt me all day unless it is an impportant known issue. Lots of major businesses use McAfee. When I was using Kaspersky and Norton and other software I've tried, sometimes they offered to cleanup system files and ripped out important cookies and other functions that made things work...

One problem with the computer industry and their software is that they feel the need to provide users with "new and improved" fangled gadgets. Windows 8...Windows 10...Office...Word...Security, spy, malware programs and so on are examples of programs that work less than previous versions, or so good that you need to go back to school to learn how. Their stockholders demand new products to stimulate sales and profits.

The developers and programers make ridiculous changes that confuse the user, the look and feel of the program..making their new version unrecognizable to previous versions. The user then has to stand in line with a million other angry people to seek support that the technician doesn't have answers to.

The whole objective of major computer monopolies like microsoft is to develope and market their "new innovations" to potential buyers. If you buy a  computer microsoft should improve the software  until the motherboard dies and you have to send the whole shootin'match to the recycler.

Older versions of windows should have been left alone and updated to fix the bugs to improve functionality.  Instead new versions of windows make your present software obsolete. Microsoft hasn't even fixed the previous versions for their users who purchased them. Their updates are frequent. That is because the version you bought were not totally functional when sold to you. Microsoft releases new windows versions soon after you purchase your new computer. It appears that the software you have is outdated and needs to be replaced. This way microsoft can force feed the newer software versions for users to purchase.

That is marketing. By releasing software  that has problems...microsoft can offer fixes called new window versions. This costs the user infinately as new bells and whistles are marketed.

Thats the way I feel about the whole stinking mess with technology using cosmetic facelifts to the previous versions. The new versions always have problems. Kind of like buying a beat up car that is always breaking down from a shady dealership...the automotive industry recall after thousands of users have crashed their vehicle with bad brakes.

Good Day

Brian.

I have the same issue, Office files only opens in "Read Only" after upgrade to Windows 10.

I was able to resolve issue by doing the same steps above ( I copied and paste below)

1. In Win 10, Right-click on the Start button and choose Command Prompt (Admin)
2. Click Yes to the User Account Control prompt
3. In the command prompt, type the following command:

cd %userprofile%

press Enter on your keyboard 4. In the command prompt, type the following command:

cd OneDrive

press Enter on your keyboard 5. In the command prompt, type the following command:

icacls %userprofile%\OneDrive /inheritance:e

(where %userprofile%\OneDrive is the location of the folder you want to fix)

press Enter on your keyboard 6. Additional to that is going to the User profile folder >****propertiesand select Security Tab then click Edit and look for the user account and Put a check on the Allowthen apply and save.
