    You might have intermittent issues saving, or copying, or attaching files using 32-bit apps which are large address aware and using the CopyFile API. Windows devices are more likely to be affected by this issue when using some commercial/enterprise security software which uses extended file attributes. We are not receiving reports that copying files using File Explorer is affected, but CopyFile API used within apps might be affected. Microsoft Office apps such as Microsoft Word or Microsoft Excel are only affected when using 32-bit versions and you might receive the error, “Document not saved.” This issue is unlikely to be experienced by consumers using Windows devices in their home or on non-managed comercial device. Note: Apps are not affected by this issue if they are 64-bit or 32-bit and NOT large address aware.

    Workaround: To mitigate the issue, you can attempt to save or copy again. Since the issue is intermittent, it is likely to succeed on a subsequent try.

    Next steps: We are working on a resolution and will provide an update in an upcoming release…

        ..Resolved on Windows 10

        Microsoft appears to have resolved the issue on Windows 10 through a Known Issue Rollback. Enterprise-managed devices need a special Group Policy to resolve the issue.

        The special Group Policy is found under Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Name of special Group Policy.

        Downloads are provided for both Windows 10 versions that are affected by the issue:

        Download for Windows 11, version 21H2 – KB5023774 230222_032017 Known Issue Rollback

        ?Download for Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10, version 21H2 – KB5023773 230222_032013..
