Hi @Jeff Stiegler , 

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A! 

Could you tell me how you saved the file? Using shortcut: Ctrl+S? 

Please click on File menu and check that the Ctrl+S shortcut is assigned to the File.SaveSelectedItems, not File.SaveSelectedItemsAs. You can go to Tools > Options > Environment > Keyboard > Reset it.

Or you can try to reset the environment settings by going to Tools > Import and Export settings > Reset all settings. 

Sincerely,

Anna

Click Tools > Options.

Expand Projects and Solutions and click Locations.

The Projects location field defines the default location for storing new projects.

You can change this path if you are using a different working folder.
