Running Windows 10.

Tried importing a recording and have gotten "directory write-error protect". Have no idea what that means or how to fix. Any help useful.

Try saving to a different folder. I get this too occasionally in my Win 10 machine. I do not know what cause it or a fix.

Sorry, but this did not help. Created a new default folder but still got the same error message. Any more ideas will be appreciated.

Check that the folder you are writing to is not controlled by your Antivirus Ransomware/Protected folders etc function.

Only using Microsoft Security; do not have other malware or antivirus software.

. . . . Only using Microsoft Security . . . .

That is one of the AVs that gives the most trouble.

Check Windows Defender Ransomeware protection is not preventing access to the folders.

Are the folders you are writing to inside the Documents folder or on another drive?
