Windows 10: Files becoming locked while working on them

Hello, I'm a young artist, and I use Windows 10 Home on a Dell laptop. Quite often while I'm working on art, I'll try to save it, and a notification pops up on my paint program that says "The file cannot be saved because it is locked" then it states that the file has been locked by "C:\Windows\System32\dllhost.exe". It says the only way to save it is to rename the file, which is becoming quite tedious, since for some pieces, I can have up to ten different files just to save it. I looked up the dllhost.exe, and it appears to be legitimate. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

The tutorials provided are just a list of troubleshooting steps. Use only the steps which apply to you.

Since none of the troubleshooting steps here worked, I'd suggest you do a Clean install.

PC Build Steps

Ok just because I like steps i am going to create some steps. Please give me the stamp of approval/disapproval

• Install system in case
  • Remember to connect SSD and optical to same SATA ports on motherboard
• Turn on PC
• setup HDD
• run blend test in prime95 for 30-60 min
  • run realtemp at the same time

• While in Prime95 test
  • if CPU goes above 70c in RealTemp, I have a leaky CPU
  • if my system locks up or blue screens, there is an instability in the system somewhere
  • if my system does not lock up or blue screen, my CPU is not damaged and I am in the clear!

What do you guys think??
