Hi all,

 

So according to Google,  i get a Mac error on a Windows machine ?

 

Window 10 - Could not save as "filename" because the disk is locked.

 

This Mac error message on a Windows machine may also explain why LR runs so painfully slow and laggy.

 

Anyhow, suggestions are welcome on the disk is locked issue.

 

Ash

    Is there even a market for third-party antivirus anymore?

     

    Considering the vast resources Microsoft pour into security nowadays, I can't believe an outside company can do very much better - not without allowing it to take over the whole machine, and you certainly don't want that.

      Thanks for That. 

      It a bit rubbish having to disable a system design to keep you safe.

      Also found another thread.  I had to delete a lot of files to make space.
