Saveas error-Cannot create output file

Hello,
i write this very simple code in MATLAB R2020b:
clear
clc
close all
x=[1 2 3 4 5];
y=x;
plot(x,y)
saveas(gcf,'Image.jpg');
But i obtain this error:
Error using matlab.graphics.internal.name (line 101)
Cannot create output file '.\Image.jpg'.
Error in print (line 71)
pj = matlab.graphics.internal.name( pj );
Error in saveas (line 181)
print( h, name, ['-d' dev{i}] )
Error in test (line 7)
saveas(gcf,'Image.jpg');
How to solve this problem? I want to save the figure in jpg format.

It means you are trying to save a figure in an un identified path. Try to go to the actual directory and Run
the code again, it will work.

Hi Edoardo,
As per my understanding, error message means, that the file “Image.jpg” cannot be created in the current folder.
This means that either this file is existing already but write-protected or in use. or you do not have write permission in the current folder.
As a workaround I would recommend you to define file names including the complete path.
Hope this Helps!

Thanks. It was a problem with the write permission. I solved the problem by changing the write permission in my antivirus.
I am running in online MATLAB and still facing the same error, where I do not have any additional folder or directory.
