Files [READ ONLY] but no indication they are, so cannot save changes
I have the latest (ends in .1212) client and am still seeing an issue that has been there since the initial release back in Sept/Oct. I can open a file in Excel, either from the MRU list in Excel...
These are just standard Sharepoint libraries. We've not modified the defaults for whatever Office 365 (business) requires. We do NOT have anything requiring checkout.
Note: as stated in the OP, the fix is to close and reopen the file, then it works fine, so that seems to indicate a bug and not a setting as a setting would not be overridden by closing/reopening.
Unless the setting was "Require user to open, close, then open the file before actually being able to use." :smileyfrustrated:
Out of curiosity, do you have the preview key in the registry?
Yes. AFAIK it won't work without it and GROOVE.EXE will continue to run. GROOVE.EXE is not in my Task Manager. OneDrive has taken over. As pointed out in the OP by my version number.
