"Your changes could not be saved" error message
PROBLEM:
Sharepoint office files are stuck "open" by a user. No other user can access.
sharepoint save file can not open for awhile.
SharePoint thinks a user still has a lock on. I can't administratively do anything with the file online. This has been going on for almost a day.
We've cleared cache, closed Excel on his computer, cleared out some local cache directories, rebooted, etc.
Nothing is clearing up this lock. It took 1 hours to release.
Also many different symptoms when saving on lock issue.
CAUSE:
web client service add lock on the file
RESOLUTION:
since no need for checkout/checkin, add below registry to disable the lock function of web client service but keep all other functions like explorer view support
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient\Parameters\SupportLocking=0
Registry to disable lock function when web client service is started:
Start webclient service on user side
Find registry: HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient\Parameters on their machines.
Find value: SupportLocking(if no, please add), set its value to 0, want to just disable lock feature.
