Who is using this file?

"The action can't be completed because the file is open in another program." Now you can find out which program.

  • Drop a file or folder anywhere on the WinKillSwitch window, or open the quick palette and choose Who is using a file? to pick one.
  • You get every app and service holding it open: its name, process, PID and kind (app, service, Explorer, console). Details opens that process's card.
  • Folders are checked file by file, up to 2,000 files.
  • If nothing holds it, the card says so and suggests what else might be blocking you.

It uses the Windows Restart Manager, the same API installers and PowerToys File Locksmith rely on.
