This is a Window 10 problem. Does anyone have a solution? Here is what is happening:

My D drive (many terrabytes) is connected by USB 3 to the PC. I can move/rename/delete files fine.

If I create a text file (*.txt) I can open it/modify it/save changes, no problems. I used EditPad lite, and Notepad++, both worked. I created and saved an *.rtf file which I opened with WordPad, made changes, and saved. Again no issues.

BUT

I cannot change anything on D using Calibre.
I also run Foxit Reader for PDFs. If a PDF is on the D Drive, I can't save edits (such as adding bookmarks.) I can make a copy of the same PDF, move it to the C drive and save edits.
I ran Libre Office Writer, and cannot save to the D Drive.

In all cases I get this General Input/Output Error msg.


Some crapola related to Win10 is not allowing certain programs (including Calibre) to write to the D Drive.

It is not the drive. Chkdsk reports no errors. What can be causing this issue?
