A google search for "user rights windows 10" will turn up a number of
sites with potential solutions. This is a Windows issue, not Apache

​Tom, one way of dealing with the acute problem would be to use the «Save
as» option​ to save the spreadsheet draught under a slightly different
name, which will allow you to continue working on it. When  the task at
hand has been completed, you can then search for a more permanent way to
deal with such annoying notices in Windows 10

You could try "save a copy" and edit that.

Is there a setting to change the default away from "read only" or

You don't say what operating system you are using, but can you use a file

manager to see if the read-only bit is set for one of the files with the
problem is set?
