When System PID 4 is locking a file or folder, How can I determine what program/process/service is locking it...
(This question is not a duplicate of Find out which process is locking a file or folder in Windows I am asking specifically about when PID-4 is locking it (besides the fact that i'm saying without using guesswork. And that question doesn't even mention PID-4))
When System PID 4 is locking a file or folder, How can I determine what program/process/service is locking it without guesswork?
For example , see this result from process explorer showing a file that may be locked.
Now, without any guesswork, how can I determine what is locking it? (When the only info I see from process explorer is that it's SYSTEM/PID-4)

@music2myear great link. (And if it works then an incredible find). Funnily enough I see that service "Application Experience", is described as "stopping" on my machinie, unfortunately I can't start it even when picking 'manual'.. But I think that service may be the issue, i'll look into what I can do re that service.
