Windows 10: Shell Infrastructure Host

I ripped a CD to my computer in .mp3 format, I just finished listening to it and now I want to move it to another folder. But I can't, I keep getting this error saying: This action can't be completed because the file is open in Shell Infrastructure Host Close file and try again. How do I get past this without rebooting my computer?

Windows defender blocking Shell Infrastructure host

Hi Glenn Taylor (glenn),

Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Community.

Shell Infrastructure Host is a core Windows component. Sihost.exe runs the Shell Infrastructure Host. This is critical Windows component and should not be removed. The Windows Shell Infrastructure Host is tasked with handling several
graphical elements of the Operating System interface including taskbar transparency and Start menu.
It’s safe to allow.

I suggest you to follow this article to
Allow a blocked app in Windows Security, and check if that helps.

Regards,

Shell infrastructure host has stopped working

I have tried all the methods suggested but still it does not work. Every time I start up my laptop. The screen is just black for about 15 minutes then the dialogue box will appear and says " The shell infrastructure host has stopped working." This happen
since I upgrade my windows from 7 to 10. What will I do to make my computer open fast and to get rid of that shell infrastructure host thing?
