Lỗi unable to save file c windows system32 d7762300-affe-c0c0-be năm 2024

I have been trying to update a Power BI desktop file and it won’t save. When I try it says that it’s unable to save the document and to check to see if I have the relevant permissions, as well as pro licensing.

I can confirm that I have the relevant licensing, and I’m able to save and publish other power BI files. But for some reason, some files won't save.

I've tried saving this file on two seperate machines, as well as within sharepoint sync, and outside sharepoint sync - and it still produces the below message. This file was saving fine up until today.

Some Windows 11/10 users are not able to save files on their Desktops. According to them, when they try to save a file on their Desktops, they receive an error message. The error does not occur when they save the same file to another location on the hard disk. In this article, we will see what you should do if you cannot save files on your Windows Desktop.

The complete error message is:

C:\Users\1234\Desktop\YYYY.docx File not found. Check the filename and try again.

In the above error message, 1234 is the username on a Windows 11/10 computer and YYYY is the document name. This error message is not associated with a particular document type. You may encounter this error while saving any document to your Desktop.

5] Create a shortcut to a folder on the Desktop
