Origin 2025 (64-bit) 10.2.0.188
Operating System: Win11 (24H2)
I am facing problems when I save an origin-projekt-file to my desktop. Origin can´t save the file unless I choose a new destination folder or new name for tzhe project.
Everytime when this happens a "hint" is displayed:
[12.02.2026 14:37:52 20157]
Klicken Sie doppelt auf den Arbeitsbereich oder drücken Sie Strg+F11, um zu navigieren und die zuletzt verwendeten Origin-Dateien zu öffnen.
Strg+Doppelklick für Datei > Öffnen.
My Desktop is located on onedrive. I am facing this problems also on other onedrive folders and I suspect that origin faces special issues when saving to onedrive destinations.
Is this a known issue for onedrive users and what could I do to overcome these complications?

Thanks for the clarification. I will let our developer know what you did and check further.
I am not IT either. A roaming profile is a Windows feature that stores a user's desktop environment, personal settings, and documents on a central network server rather than locally.
So i was wondering if your login account was set so so that even though it's some folder in C:\ drive, but it was synced to your company's server so no matter which PC you login, that folder was synced to the server.
I guess that's not your case then.
Thanks, Snow |

Hi Snow,
since my laptop has just one physical SSD harddrive built in which has only one partition (C.) I was not able to follow exactly your description. I entered the setup of onedrive and noticed alll directorys that are synchronized (document, video, picture, music, ...) and at last decided to create a new directory C:\Originlab1\ (normally this is forbidden by our it but in this ccase I ordered admin rights in order to get this done) which is unknown to onedrive and outside my user-folder.
Sorry, I don´t know what a "roaming profile folder" is? I tried to translate this word by word but ... I am a chemist not an it-professional.
Regards
Peter

Hi Peter,
Great to know we made some progress.
Was C:\TOriginLab1\TempSave\ the new TempSave folder you specified in Registry editor?
Is it synced to onedrive? Or it's a roaming profile folder?
Thanks, Snow

Finally i saved - as usual - the file to the same folder with a different name and it worked.
Before saving I added a non linear curve fitting to my data and this was still there after opening up again.
:-)
Before I changed the folders this would have been gone. So little progress has been achhieved. Thanks for that!

This afternoon I exactly followed the instruction you gave me.
I am getting an error message that there was an error writing the file to Onedrive and am asked if it is read only?
It says that it was stored to C:\TOriginLab1\TempSave\ ~tmp~xyz.opju instead.

The FAQ has instructions to change UFF, Autosave, Unsaved and Backup folders and a hidden TempSave folder.
E.g. suppose u will change the 1st 4 folders to e.g. D:\OriginLab1.
1. Go to Windows Explorer, create 4 folders called User Files, AutoSave, UnSaved and Backup under D:\Originlab
2. In Origin, select Preference: Options menu to open the Options dialog.
3. Go to System Path tab. Select each folder and click Change... to change them to the new folder one by one.
Note: For User Files, it has a checkbox to Copy All Files from Original. Check it. It also prompt that u need to restart Origin. U can restart Origin after all 4 paths are changed.
4. Restart Origin and go to Preferences: Options again to check if all those four paths are pointing to the corresponding folders under D:\OriginLab\.
All your settings in old User Files folder should be kept.
We don't show TempSave folder in GUI. To change it
1. Launch Registry editor of your PC, e.g. click Windows button and run regedit.exe (Registry Editor)
2. Go to Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\OriginLab\Origin 10.2\International\
3. Check if there is TempSave key. If not, right click there and choose New: String Value. Name it TempSave.
4. Double click it and enter D:\OriginLab\TempSave\ as the Value Data. (Note: From the FYI, please make sure the last \ is needed)
Then please check if the saving opju issue to onedrive issue still exists.
Thanks, Snow

Hi Snow,
I don´t get this message. All I see ist that the file isn´t fully loaded and there is a message in the "message protocol-window" (german: "Meldungsprotokoll")
[17.02.2026 08:15:07]
C:\Users\tschunck\OneDrive - Drägerwerk AG & Co. KGaA\Desktop\Schülerpraktikanten\Schuelerpraktis 2026.opju
Es ist ein Fehler beim Lesen der Datei aufgetreten (65538)! Dies kann eventuell bei Projekten passieren, die in OneDrive gespeichert sind.

BTW, when you see the dialog indicating that the file may be read-only, an error message should also be logged in the Script Window , such as: (Choose menu "Window: Script Window" if the script window is not opened)
"File comparison between temp. file <temp. file> and destination file <original file> returned error code: <error code number>."
Could you please send us this error message so we can further investigate the issue?
Thanks, Snow |

I would be willing to test to move the files fron c:\user\documents\originlab\ to another destination outside documents, because I am not 100% sure if documents is somewhow synchonized to onedrive.
What would be the best strategy? I don´t want to loose all my settings user defined menus and so on....
Does origin provide means for managing these file location?

Is it possible that those C:\ folders are actually also synced to onedrive etc. so though it says C:\, it's actually synced to somewhere else? Could you try to change it some other local drive?
Thanks, Snow

Sorry for coming back to this conservation....
I am still observing major issues!
It seems that opju files can´t be stored under the same name. When I change something in a file and want to store my changes I get an error message. When I choose a new name (same path and directory) I am able to save the project.
Upon opening such a project from an OneDrive-location I am missing things like formulas and Non linear curve fittings and so on. I get an error message:
"Es ist ein Fehler beim Lesen der Datei aufgetreten (65538)! Dies kann eventuell bei Projekten passieren, die in OneDrive gespeichert sind."
System paths are set to C:\ (=local harddisk) directories.
What exactly can I do about the registry?

I am not sure if I now do have to change somethin in registry? |

Could you please try configuring all the system folders, in addition to the UFF, to use a local drive as outlined in the FAQ below?
https://www.originlab.com/doc/Quick-Help/Declare-saving-file-read-only
Please note that you can still save your project files to a cloud folder—this setting only affects the temporary system folders. Please let me know if this resolves the issue.
Thanks, Snow |
