Office Documents randomly becoming Read-Only
-
Issue: Numerous users have reported working on a file for any given period of time, when randomly the file (word, excel, ppt) becomes Read-Only.
All documents are reportedly local to the user (in their profile, desktop, documents).
Sleep doesn't appear to be the cause as users can be actively working in a document and it'll become read-only.
Office version 1810
Nothing I've been able to find applies, and the most currently reported case of this is for things I've already troubleshoot. Sleep, disable OneDrive auto save, AV issue etc.

Windows 10 update?
-
@black3dynamite performed, could likely run them again though.
-
What about the Mac users, any of them having the same issue?
-
@black3dynamite None that have reported it, appears to be a Windows only type of issue at the moment.
-
Still get read only when using the app in safe mode?

@black3dynamite That I haven't tried. It's worth a check!
