Hi.
I have had similar problems for quite some time. I have Windows 10 and Lyx
2.3.5.2 with Miktex
I send two screenshots.
This problem occurs with different articles or notes. I couldn't find any
pattern to help me solve this problem.
Every time this problem occurs, a new copy of the file is created in the
folder
