In this video I cover how to unlock files & folders in both Windows 11 using the File Locksmith utility. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/powertoys/file-locksmith Step 1. Install Microsoft PowerToys. https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys#about File Locksmith is included as part of the Microsoft PowerToys, a set of utilities for power users to fine tune their installation of Windows. There are some additional dependencies for installing and using PowerToys, but the installation package will install these if they are not already installed on your system. To install PowerToys, click on the for x64 processors (most common) download link in the Via GitHub with EXE (Recommended) section. Run the installer and once the process is finished, PowerToys and by extension File Locksmith will be installed on your system. Step 2. Using File Locksmith. To use File Locksmith, right click on a file or folder, and choose the “What’s using this file?” option from the context menu. File Locksmith will load up with a list of processes associated with that file or folder and give you the option to kill the associated processes. You can also click the down arrow which will reveal the Process ID, the User, and the File in question. But before killing any processes, I recommend restarting File Locksmith as an administrator by clicking the button at the top right. This will also confirm a UAC prompt later if you are deleting files from a system directory. Once you have made your decision, click the End Task button which will kill the chosen process. #filelocksmith #windows11 #powertoys Social Media Links Discord - https://discord.gg/3SxGk3WG2D Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/Intelligent-Gaming-101640054531594 Mastodon - https://mastodon.social/@Intelligentgaming Reddit - https://www.reddit.com/r/IntelligentGaming2020/ Twitter - https://twitter.com/inspectorgecko
