@Janet264, Welcome to HP Support Community. 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you. 
If you're unable to save changes to your files on your HP Pavilion All-in-One PC 24-k0000i running Windows 11, this may be caused by:

File or Folder Permissions

You may not have permission to modify the file or folder.

Fix:

• Right-click the file/folder → select Properties.
• Go to Security tab → click Edit.
• Select your user name and check Full control.
• Click Apply and then OK.

File is Open in Another Program

If another app is using the file, Windows may block changes.

Fix:

• Close all other apps that might be using the file (e.g., Word, Excel, Notepad).
• Reboot your PC if unsure.

File is Marked as Read-Only

This prevents edits.

Fix:

• Right-click the file → Properties.
• Uncheck Read-only.
• Click Apply.

Disk Errors or Drive Write Protection

If your hard disk has issues or is write-protected, you can't save files.

Fix:

• Open Command Prompt as Admin.
• Run: 
  chkdsk C: /f
• Restart your PC when prompted.

OneDrive or Cloud Sync Conflict

If the file is synced with OneDrive or another cloud service, syncing issues may block edits.

Fix:

• Pause syncing in OneDrive temporarily.
• Try saving the file locally outside the OneDrive folder (e.g., Desktop or C:\Temp).

User Profile Corruption

If your Windows user account is corrupted, file operations might fail.

Fix:

• Try saving the file from a different user account.
• If it works, you may need to create a new account and transfer your files.

Storage Full

If your drive is full, Windows can’t save new data.

Fix:

• Check your disk space:
  Settings > System > Storage.
• Free up space by deleting unnecessary files or using Storage Sense.

I hope this helps. 

Take care and have a good day.
