AutoSave Getting in the Way:

Are you using a school-owned or company-owned device? If so, you may not have permissions to access this. So, see if there are any profiles that you need to remove. If not signed in, then sign into the account.

  1. Go to: Settings
  2. Select: General
  3. Select: Device Management
  4. Remove: Profiles

So, what's the app?

Right-click on the icon, and then go to Properties. See if it is read-only. If a MS Word document, try copying everything but the last paragraph --if that works, then it is a corrupt file.

I'm on personal computer using Win11.
