File deletion problem Win7 Pro

Anyone else come across this problem.

Building a project requires the previous exe to be deleted, but the previous exe is slow 5-10 minutes to disappear, so the build process fails.
Re-installed Win7 and problem persists, Looked for solutions on inet, but that's like listening to a bunch of monkeys.

delete the .exe by your self using shift+del and after that do the compilation... :idea:

No AVs on board.

Tried that .. same result.

Edt:
This is a real funny one... As long as I don't access the folder containing the exe, there's no problem.
As soon as I open the folder ... the wheels come off , and I need administrator rights (I use a standard user) to delete, but even that doesn't work.

Then it's the Windows search engine problem.

Looks like this problem is linked across multiple services.
I've disabled these services so far..

Program Compatibility Service
Application Experience
Application Information
Application identity

This enables me to immediately delete the file manually with no problems so far, which is better than not being able to delete for 5-10 minutes or so.
I just adopt a different testing method which works ok.

This might create stability problems but F that.. I have a time schedule on development and can always reinstall Win7

Hi K_F,

A solid backup of your operating system will help you to save a lot of time.

After an nasty updates:
StopDiagTrack.cmd
sc stop Diagtrack
sc delete Diagtrack
sc stop AeLookupSvc
sc delete AeLookupSvc
pause
