The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file DOCHTML or the program directory.

The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file DOCHTML except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.

This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file DOCHTML to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
