Hello James, I should not say this James, but I am pleased to hear this has happened to someone else. The same thing happened to me after I installed Apache OpenOffice 4.1.8 on my Windows 10 Asus computer. I could not open files as usual. I got a window with the option of "Read Only" or "Open as copy". The usual solutions to open "Read Only" were not available. I uninstalled 4.1.8 and went back to 4.1.7 but the problem was still there. I took my computer to the experienced computer technician whose business is computers who looks after my computer. I think he did not recognise the problem. I was told that by trial and error he solved the problem saying it was the Avast program and another program that were the problem. I had been using Avast and the other program for many years on this and other computers. My computer was returned with Windows Defender and my other favourite program deleted. I would be interested to hear if any other users have had this same problem and if it happens only to some users who have upgraded to 4.1.8 and if so how the problrm was solved. Thank you. Jean Lear
