I have copied thousands of files of all types into the shared folders on Windows Home Server and marked all of them as 'duplicate' (verb) and it appears to be doing well. However, I have a small number (about 20).TIF files and it is complaining about each of these files with the following message: 'The following files have a conflict. To learn how to resolve the conflict, click Help.' The Conflict marked on each file is 'The file is open' These files are untouched and unopened by anything that I have been involved with. So I'm trying to track down why.TIF files are open by something and what that something is or if it's a bug in WHS and if so is there a workaround?

To vote Would suggest using the WHSCleanup tool and/or File Conflict resolver addin. Update to windows 10. If you choose to participate, the online survey will be presented to be your best bet.

I suggest you to use to find out the problem. Try to make some operation on a file (Rename or Delete). Download kamen rider kabuto the movie Then according to your information it should be denied and an error message will be popped up reporting a failure to delete/ rename. Close the message and then a unlocker window will be popped up showing the 'Locker' process. Then you can use or any similar tool if you want to see the process path, command line information. Then you can remove check whether it is a startup process and will be able to consider it to disable it using msconfig.
