READONLY Issue with private LIBRARY1.OLD with Capture 17.2-2016 SO83 only on first open of Project

Someone had posted about this before in 2017, but the question got locked before anyone answered it. I am now having the same issue with the latest Capture 17.2. It would seem that whenever I launch Capture and open a previous project that uses my LIBRARY1.OLB that I made a while ago, I get prompted with an alert that asks if I want to open it readonly.  If I click No, the library is not always accessible from within the project hierarchy.  If I then close the project and reopen it, the prompt does not occur and everything is fine.  I can then close & open multiple projects without this prompt reoccurring. But if I totally close out Capture and restart it, the prompt reoccurs (one time again) when I re-open a project that uses this library.

Can anyone explain this?  Thank you.

    As you notice it says "file already in use" may be you have 2 user logins & it is open in other user login. Better restart your PC and check with issue. Or  if library is saved on network make sure the folder where it is saved has read-write facility & no one else is working on the library. In your case I see it is on local PC referring the screenshot.
