May also be opened by background Windows Search/Cortana/... for indexing and/or that may be causing it to be rescanned - I had similar problems solved after disabling those search services. Run Resource Monitor from bottom of Task Manager/Performance tab and watch Disk Activity pane ordered by File for interfering processes, and kill them if safe, disable if standalone service. If it's svchost or AV process, search if you can bypass or disable those actions or directories, or request a custom policy for your userid or systems as it's interfering with work. Security interfering with work tends to get fixed to allow work to be done: a lot of security policies interfere with development work, and have to be bypassed. It would be better and easier for all if they packaged the security policy bypasses with the development tool installs. I've had to jump thru a few corporate hoops to keep things kosher and simplify updates and use: it's often easy these days for developers to add zero cost, email/web supported packages to corporate tracking systems with yourself as in-house support: YMMV. ;^> -- Take care.
