Error: "You do not have exclusive access to the data base ..."

Question

I am new to Access 16. I cannot figure out how to fix this error:
"You do not have exclusive access to the data base at this time"

I am the only user.

There are two copies of the Access data base, one with 3,296 KB, the other 1 KB and a padlock shown on its icon.

Windows 10 version 10.0.19043 build 19043

Answer 1

None of those worked, but it's fixed now after I rebooted my computer.
