Every few minutes my Windows 11 PC creates an error message like this:
"Error creating log file. The Process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process".
This gets my award for the most useless error message ever created in the history of computing.
- what is the process that created this message?
- which and where is the log file that it is trying to access?
- what is the process that is using the file?
If I knew these things, I might be able to make some attempt to overcome the problem, what ever it is. Or at least to report it to someone who could maybe find the cause.
Another problem: The window that contains this error message stays on the screen, so that after using my PC for a while, there are tens or hundreds of these windows open. The only way of closing them that I have been able to find is to save all my working files, close all my applications, and restart the computer. Even this is a lot faster than closing 100s of windows one at a time. Is there not a way of selecting all of these windows (maybe using some shift/click type method) and closing them all at once?
Thank you - Rowan
