I have an Excel file that I use regularly and it works as normal for an extended period of time, but after a couple/few weeks or so eventually it'll say that the file can't be saved because it's read only and I need to change the name of the file to save changes. I checked the properties and it's not set to read-only. Does anyone have any other ideas?
Thank you,

There are a few possible reasons why an Excel file might become read-only and prevent you from saving changes:
Before performing any steps, you should first update windows and Office.
If none of these solutions work, try saving the file under a different name or in a different location to see if that resolves the read-only issue.
You can also try repairing or reinstalling Excel to see if that fixes the problem.
