This is not a matter of "sometimes". This it totally predictable and it
happens for me every time depending how I run it.
I have narrowed it down to an extremely simple program:
Pause = input(" Start ")
Starter = open("HLY-LOG5.txt","w")
pause - input(" End ")
Out of the seven scenarios:
Four options work if you use:
WIN10 and double click on the filename.
WIN10 and open the file with IDLE and press F5.
WIN11 and open the file with IDLE and press F5.
WIN11 and activate it from the command prompt.
Three fail to work if you use:
WIN11 and double-click on the filename.
WIN11 and select "Open using Python".
WIN10 and select "Open using Python". (This one totally surprised me.)

Although I am attempting to use the suggestions provided, they do little help
if I don't know the scope of the problem.
Is it happening only on my computers?
No one, so far, has posted either way.
