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.

Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move PUBMHTML to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the PUBMHTML file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file PUBMHTML to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
