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

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.

In a similar post, https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/error-could-not-save-the-file-because... the error was found to have been caused by the anti-virus software Avast.

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.

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.
