0 Promidi Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Looks like a Windows permissions issue Try running Cakewalk as administrator.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Lord Tim Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 It's likely you have some other process locking the file you're trying to save to, possibly an antivirus app (eg: Windows Defender) that's scanning the file at the time, or it's being indexed by a file sharing app like One Drive or Dropbox. If you temporarily disable any of those things, can you save? If not, are you able to save to some other filename or location? Expanding on what @Promidi said, it could also be a permissions issue. It's not a great idea to run Cakewalk as Admin, generally, but it's a useful troubleshooting step. If you are already running as admin, unless you have a really good reason to do that, don't. Run it as a regular user or you run into all kinds of wacky stuff like being unable to drag and drop things from File Explorer to Cakewalk, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Starship Krupa Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 It's a good idea to go into the Windows Security settings and exclude your Cakewalk Projects folder from Defender's realtime scanning. Also your plug-ins and samples folders. I don't think that's the issue, though. It looks like permissions to me. If you know how, check the permissions on your Cakewalk Projects folder to make sure that you have Full Control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
