I wrote an equation in Word 2016 using Mathtype. However, when i edited it, i got the message"Word cannot open the document:user does not have access privileges", as shown in the following pictures.  

Any help would be appreciated!!

Yes it was after installing the new WIN10 update. 

You need to remove McAfee WebAvisor. Somehow, McAfee WebAdvisor interprets the mathtype  access from MSWord as an illegitimate web access. I was in contact with both Mathtype and  McAfee technical support and they are looking at the problem.
