Notepad in Windows 10 won't save(Windows 10 save txt file pop-up save as dialog box)

After modifying the Notepad file in Windows 10, click Save, but the Save As dialog box is popped up. The operating system under Windows 10 saves it directly. Why does Windows 10 pop up a Save As dialog box? This is not superfluous. However, when saving a new Notepad file in Windows 10, the Save As dialog box is not popped up and it was saved directly. What is going on?

It turns out that Windows 10 has further strengthened the authority management. There is no modification authority for the previous Notepad file by default. If you don't want to save as, assign the current user modification authority to it that needs to be modified and the Save As dialog box will not be popped up.
