Sorry for additional comments... I may have idea what is wrong - seems krita is trying to save file with 'linux' like dividers ('/' instead of '\'). As I use Python, I did not seen it as problem before. But when I tried to save file without path, it seems it was saved (even I do not know where, as I do not have configured Libraries).
I get this and I think it's because you're trying to write to a folder at the C: drive level. Windows 10 seems to be very strict about where an application can save files. Try saving to C:\Users\{username}\Documents or any folder you created in your {username} folder.
No, the path dividers are not a problem. Not only can windows use both, but Qt internally prefers paths to use / and makes sure everything works. As Ahab says, you're probably trying to save to a location where you don't have permissions for.
Thanks guys. Problem is - I am using Win7 SP1... And I do not have similar problem with any other app. In fact this is very first time I have used library on my PC :-(. I do not have Qt on this machine. Solution: Save your files into folders under Users. Retest: I confirm in case "library" folder is used, I can save either kra and PNG file. Note: I do not think you are right about problem being caused by rights, but I think I can live with workaround you mentioned.
