    Anyone who has to use Windows and suffers this, PowerToys is your friend. Locksmith identifies what’s locking your file and allows you to free it up. Dunno why PowerToys isn’t bundled by default tbh.

      PowerToys give the user more power, which goes directly against Microsoft’s own goal.

      Also, less seriously, “toys” implies the user might enjoy the experience, and you know they can’t let that happen.

        Shut up. It is literally made by Microsoft. As a place to experiment what to include in Windows. Don’t argue with strawmen

          Shut up. I also think power toys that feature basic functionality and have been around for decades should be included in Windows. I can’t always install this on a computer that needs it.

      I always thought it wasn’t included by default to mitigate malware damage to a system. Malware needs to be just a little bit more advanced if it can’t hijack Powertools to do what it wants
