I normally use Windows MS Paint program to crop/edit/add text to various photos that I have taken for sending on to others... Up until today this has been no problem..BUT now everytime I try to edit and then save a downloaded photo or picture (JPG format).. the screen gives me the following error and won't save it... I have "Googled" this problem but nothing about Windows 10.. any ideas as this only happens on 1 of the 3 computers in the house that is using Win 10. Might have to look for another rprogram to use instaed of "MS Paint".. Any ideas??

Have you tried saving it elsewhere, not the desktop?

I know techies will scream bloody murder about this but,,,,,I would love to have the chance to sell a car to Bill Gates, and after getting his money, be able to tell him ,Here are three boxes of parts you will have to install, and a toolbox full of things you will need to use PRIOR to driving/using the supposed premium car you already paid for.

I tried and am able to save them using Paint in .jpg format to another location/folder other than desktop..BUT ONLY ONCE! If I open them again from that new folder using paint, make additional changes and try to save them to the new location, I again get the same error message only citing the different location.. Strange.. Something has changed but ????

Now try using a different graphics program. That should help narrowing it down.

Try thiis. Be sure to reboot your computer applying the work-around.

I just wanted to keep the same program for use on all household / laptop computers.. THANKS AGAIN FOR TAKING THE TIME TO HELP ME..

I quit letting Microsoft win years ago, sorry you have limited options.

I hesitate to bring it up as it usually leads cloud bashers to comment but Google Photos does all that you said in your original post that you wanted to do. And what you do is synced with all your devices.
