Help: I can't save pictures - Xinuque - 10-27-2017

This is the problem I am facing: When I try to save a picture, I can't. The "save as" and "save" commands are irresponsive. When I click on them, the only thing that happens is that the Toobox disappears.
I am using Windows 10 and Gimp 2.8.22.

Thanks.
Never mind. Issued solved...

I have this problem too. I'm running GIMP 2.10.22 64 bit in Windows 10 (recently installed after reinstalling Windows). Whenever I try to save or export an image, nothing happens, and then when I click something else in the GIMP window it goes all faint, and won't do anything at all. Eventually I have to terminate it with Task Manager. Like this I can't do anything useful with GIMP at all. How do I fix this, or how do I investigate what's causing the problem? I have seen lots of other reports of similar problems, including some saying that it is fixed, but how? Is there a version that doesn't suffer from this problem that I can try installing?

Thanks - Rowan

The only recent comment I have seen for Windows (and since I use linux no confirmation) is:

-----quote----
Windows 10 save problem
What I had to do was - Go to Settings, type "Controlled folder access"
which took me to the Windows Defender Security Centre/Ransomware protection/Controlled folder access.
Switch to "Off"

In my case it was already off. What do I try next?

Thanks - Rowan

Please can you say HOW it was solved? Maybe the same fix will work for me...

Thank you - Rowan

There was this thread where the problem was the AV. Might be worth checking.
