8.7 unable to save files
-
When trying to save a normal txt file a nag popup says “File not found - Check the name and try again” Doesn’t matter what the name is or where the folder is. This worked before updating to 8.7

I’ve been using v8.7 since it was released, and I’ve never seen that error.
This sounds somewhat like this issue from August – wherein it turned out the user had AntiVirus SW that turned on a buried Windows setting to “protect” the user. You might want to check the setting that @xomx mentioned in that discussion.
If that setting was already off for you, and if you know that you don’t have AntiVirus/AntiMalware getting in the way, then try using MS
notepad.exeto save a file to a given directory, and then try using Notepad++ to save in the exact same directory.
