I keep getting error messages all day (like every 1-5 mins) that say: "Error creating log file: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process." However, it does not tell me which program is creating it. What do I need to do to get rid of this message?

    Thank you for your reply. I've been out of town for a week and just saw your note. Now I'm seeing this - I think this is the new warning:

    Hi, thank you for replying, do you have an SQLite app on the PC? if yes, I recommend uninstalling it first, then check the device again.

    Press the Windows key + R, then type in:

    appwiz.cpl
    

    Then hit OK

    Look for the SQLite app or related software, then right-click and uninstall it.

    Restart the PC and check.
