A quick google of An I/O error occurred when writing to the file" comes back with a lot of the same solutions, turnoff or uninstall antivirus software that is preventing the file saves. However obviously you might NOT want to do that. I think a lot people sold WIN 10 or 11 compatible machines with alledgedly big Terrabyte drives don't realise that C & D drives are part of the same phyiscal disc? Windows OS takes up practically all the space on my C: which causes problems if you want to run an other large memory consuming programmes such as image manipulation/ music editing/ gaming etc. There is sometimes an option to move secondary progs from the C to D drive via Win 10/11 but it makes little practical difference. The D really works for system memory not progs. The best option for you is to buy an external HD of 1 Terrabyte at least and cut ALL your saved images from the D to the new external drive? I say cut because you want to empty the D as much as possible. You can also install PAINT to the new drive and take it off the C, it will work, you just need update your shortcuts to the prog. For example my Current machine has 930 GB on the D (disk 0) 238 GB on C (DISK 1) that sounds huge but is wasted space because Windows is using 237 out of 238 !! So I have added a 500 GB Drive for a spare/ backup / 1TB 1 is the main home for everything I use day to day work/45cat etc (files & progs). 1TB 2 is the back up for that. Plus a couple of 32GB thumb drives for the other half & nippers. The last part of your Q sounded like an image cache problem on your browser?
