minus-squareJohanno@feddit.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up21·11 hours agoActually on windows 7 I found out how to get which process is locking one file. You open the resources manager (task manager has a link to it) Inside you can see how much each process uses on cpu, network and stuff. And there is a tab where all used files for each process is listed. You can search for specific files.
minus-squareLandless2029@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up32·10 hours agoYeah there’s a Microsoft sysinternals utility where you can drag a file into to fetch that info for you. Makes zero sense there isn’t a >Details in the error notification that tells you the damned process in Windows.

minus-squarePiafraus@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·8 hours agoNot only that, but you can actually search all active processes to see which handles they keep references to. Just search the name of your file and it will show you the processes which use it
