This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the DCTX file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the DCTX file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
