We found few users unable to open files on share folders , it will display opned by "another us" , our security teams said to restart this service "SMS Agent Host" , yeah after restart this servie the files could be opened but the next day the same issue even we restart PC . It was issued one week ago. It seems MS defender issue , when defender scan files it will be locked but no release this file . So what we should do next step for PC client.
