It is non-ascii characters in the filename or the path. Anyway, this
shouldn't happen any more in the latest version when you save it from the
GUI. So I don't think this is the problem.

You can type \users in the name bar at the top. Or choice Documents in the
left pain and then in the address bar above the right pane click on your
username to go to your personal folder.
I will see if I can find something on the internet about this issue,

These steps work in Windows 7, I assume something like this is possible

It is the same in MSWindows 10.

Have fun
