Inventor reports the error "Failed to create folder" or "Error creating the lock file lockfile.lck"

Inventor suddenly displays the error "Failed to create folder" or "Error creating the lock file lockfile.lck" (Error code: 2) and the model file cannot be saved:

Most probably those file operations are really not accessible - as a result of limited user rights, or blocked by your antivirus, or disk full, etc.
