Windows 2008 R2 – Kernel (System Process PID=4) is locking files and folders

by

As Dani has already mentioned in the comment:

It’s a bug in Windows 7 and likely in Windows Server 2008 (possibly 64bit versions only). It surfaces when you disable Application Experience service.

Re-enabling this service has fixed this problem for me.

A bit more info here as to why it’s causing a problem.
