Process Explorer is the workarond. Use its search for handle, find the filename. You'll get a list of all handles to the file, and thus all processes with it open. You can close those (safest way) or force-close the handle (more likely to crash the process in question).
- oefrha 7y agoI use Process Explorer when I have to, but 1. It’s not built into Windows, requires separate download; 2. Searching is hit or miss.
- SAI_Peregrinus 7y agoThat's why I call it a workaround, not a solution. It's good enough most of the time, but not every time.
