Can't save project content

For some reason, after my most recent time opening my project in Unreal to work on it, I find that any effort to save content won’t complete. I tried saving an updated BP asset and it wouldn’t save that. Retried a few times, but nothing happened. Then I tried saving the project itself, and similarly nothing happened. The error warning about it not saving provided within the project gives me no clue as to the source of the issue, just that an error occurred. Not sure what sort of thing might cause this to happen so was hoping someone could point me the right way if it sounded familiar. Thanks.

I’ve had this happen when accidentally opening the project twice. The UE4 editor in the background kept me from saving with the editor in the foreground. Could it have been that?

This can happen if you accidentally open the project twice.

I have had times where unreal just won’t save a widget file. When this happened, I fixed it by renaming the uasset file in windows and reverting to the original name.

Yeah, that’s exactly what it was. Thanks for the advice, it’s really appreciated!

Thanks to both of you guys that responded on this. That was in fact the issue, though I’ve no clue how it got opened a second time. In any event after closing one and giving it a minute things were back to normal. Appreciate the feedback, it really does mean a lot!
