I am running a Windows 11 and I am using Lightroom Classic 15.1. Just recently, getting to be a regular thing, when I want to rename a file I get a warning that the file cannot be renamed because it either missing or not writable. The file next to it, no problem. The file is there, no question, so what makes it not writable. I'm not doing anything different that I have in the past. Your help is appreciated. Thanks.

Please show us a screen capture of the ENTIRE Lightroom Classic Library Module window in grid mode, just before the attempted renaming. Please show us another screen capture of the error message. Please use the "Insert Photos" icon to include your screen capture in your reply, do NOT attach files.
