Hi everyone, I occasionally receive this message, but I can not find its
definition anywhere.

I am the only user on this Win10 platform, and if GC is closed, and does
not appear in TaskManager, isn't it "closed"?

My options are to - Open Read-only; create New file; Open Anyway; Open
Folder.

1) what does the error mean?
2) which option should I select?
3) what happens if I select incorrectly?

Thanks!
