Question

The last file closed in Audition 24.4.1.3 stays locked in Windows 11 unless you open another file

If you open a file or multiple files in Audition 24.4.1.3 the last file closed stays locked in Windows 11 until you open another file in Audition or close Audition.  This did not happen in Audition CS6. I just upgraded to Audition 24 from CS6.

I reproduced this issue. Opened a file, saw it wasn't what I thought it was, closed the file, could not delete the file. Confirmed it as Audition holding a lock on the file by closing Audition then deleting the file.

(build 24.2.0.83 on Win10)

It doesn't happen here, and nobody else has reported it... If your OS is not releasing the file, there will be a reason for it. What you might need to do is download Process Explorer to establish why this is happening. Also, make sure that you are running as a user with Administrator rights - that has been the cause of a few otherwise unexplained problems.

I am running as Administrator. This does not happen with Audition CS6.  I just upgraded to Audition 2024.
If I do the same thing in CS6 the file is unlocked but not in 2024. I attached a screenshot showing Audition with no open files. I tried to rename the last one I had open and got the "file in use error".  The error says Adobe Audition 2024 has the file open. I downloaded and ran the Process Explorer but you'll have to tell me what to look for. I didn't see anything that showed Adobe or any process has open files.
