The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner.

This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file WBF1 to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the WBF1 file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
