Task manager to kill processes

Question

PermissionError: [WinError 32] The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process: 'C:\\Users\\cturn\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\try_march_3v6ffkv9.exe'

On Windows 10, I want to use task manager to kill the program using the "resource" try_march_3v6ffkv9.exe

So, eh, how do I do that then?

Answer 1

Why this is happening? you're trying to access a file, and it's not accessible because another process (or even the same process) is doing something with it (and it didn't allow any sharing).

How do I fix it? Sysinternals Process Explorer is a tool which will let you see open file handles. When you kill the offending programs (or close the file) you can avoid this error.
