Hello, I just got a PC and the builder installed the Witcher 3 GOTY for "free." I messed around a bit and did some saves early in the game (15 minutes in) and then went to actually buy the game myself. I uninstalled the "free" game and then bought and downloaded the one from GOG.

When I load it up I can play it but I can't make a new save. Even more strange I see the old saves and checkpoints from the "free" game. Can someone point me in the right direction?

This fix may be necessary after a recent Windows 10 Update or a newly loaded PC:

1) Go to Start > Settings
2) Select Update & Security
3) Open Windows Defender Security Center
4) Select Virus & Threat Protection and then choose Virus And Threat Protection Settings
5) Under the Controlled Folder Access change the setting to "off."

Done

Now, Windows 10 should no longer block one from saving games.

Update:

I no longer recommend turning "off" Controlled Folder Access

Instead:

1) Go to Start > Settings
2) Select Update & Security
3) Open Windows Defender Security Center
4) Select Virus & Threat Protection
5) Manage Ransomware Protection
6) Allow an app through Controlled Folder access
7) Recently blocked apps - Add An Allowed App
8) Click on the + and allow Witcher3.exe

Have u tried deleting a bunch of them,it happened to me as well and it was because there were to many of'em but if u delete a few you can then start making new saves.
