[GNC] problem obtaining lock

[Marty Landman]

My wife and I have been using Gnucash for a few years now for our small 
business, and the one problem that keeps happening is after my Windows 
11 Home edition updates and I have to restart Gnucash I get the 
following message:


Gnucash could not obtain the lock for C:
\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\GnuCash.gnucash

That database may be in use by another user, in which case you
should not open the database. What would you like to do?


I select 'open anyway', then open, close, and then reopen it and the 
error goes away.   What is going on? How can I prevent this error from 
happening in the first place?
