DWG opens a read only when it should open normally

Hello,
A program developed for batch processing drawings have started to behave differently in one location. This is written in VB6, is a standalone EXE and remotly controls AutoCAD.
The location in question is a customer who have upgraded the client machines to Windows 10.
When the batch program opens a DWG in AutoCAD, it is supposed to do some updates, then save the file.
The issue we now have is that, at this location only, the files are being opened read only. If the user uses the open command in AutoCAD, the file opens normally. The same is true if a VBA dialog we have created is used to open the drawing. And yes, we have made sure it is the same file.
The files are on a netwok share, which might be an important part of the puzzle.
Does anyone have any experience with this?
