I think you have answered your own question.

Earlier you confirmed that you cannot update non-Gnucash files, so the 
problem is not confined to Gnucash.

Now you confirm that it happens locally, so nothing to do with Dropbox or 
Onedrive.

That leaves your Windows 11 configuration, which is apparently not 
handling Greek characters in directory names properly.

No, I don't have any suggestions for fixing that; I don't use Windows 11.
