This response, below, suggests that there may be permission settings that also 
interfere with some applications after an Upgrade to Windows 10.
 
Although the OP previously reported that some of the ODF documents on her 
system were editable (i.e., not locked and evidently not read-only), it appears 
that there was something else going on.  There may be some detail in the OP 
response that I misinterpreted, as well.
 
In this case, there is not enough detail on isolated causes and we must remain 
on the alert for other cases where we can work with an user in seeing how to 
isolate the root cause(s) of any observed difficulty.
 
So far, we have not found an OpenOffice-specific problem related to files being 
locked or read-only after Windows 10 upgrading.  The only cases brought to our 
attention are Windows 10 related (and not just about OpenOffice) or they are 
about unreleased locks that were already there but only noticed after the 
upgrade.
 
There is an issue about the quality of the display that some folks see in 
OpenOffice rendering of some fonts that seems specific to OpenOffice.  That is 
being tracked down separately.

no what I'm saying is that after spending hours on the phone with Microsoft 
support the technician eventually went into permissions Advanced Settings  and 
clicked off the child permission blockage which gave the administrator full 
control and so far it seems to be working.

Janet,
 
Thank you for your follow-up.
 
Are you saying that with this week’s updates to Windows 10, your problem 
disappeared?
 
It was not necessary for you to take any other action?

Here I am again. My problems with Open Office  and Corel Video Studio appeared 
to have been solved by Microsoft adjusting the permission settings. Thank you 
for your help.

Here is the procedure for you to try.  I have more questions:

 1. I don't know if this will work as described for a file in a OneDrive 
folder.  Let us know if it works.

 2. I don't know about .odb files either.  Let us know if that works too.

 3. And let us know what does not work.  So far we have not found a defect in 
OpenOffice.  We must keep looking.

 4. What are your questions now?

Regards,

 - Dennis
