CANNOT SAVE FILE

Hello
Every time I finished a recording I try to save it but although the SAVE box prompts up no letters could be typed in.
This happens in usual file saving in Audacity file or an MP3 file.
This only happens recently but there was not any problem for the past 2 years.
Please give your advice. I appreciate it.

Are you saving to your local drive? Audacity doesn’t get along very well with external drives, network drives, or cloud drives. Save to your local drive and then move the files to your “foreign” drives in Windows.
