Lock Fail error

[Rcmtr]

Which cryptomator version are you using and which type of drive in your settings?

Also sounds similar to my report here:

Lock fails if vault contains .exe file that is accessed

Hi, I tested version 1.6.17 on a spare windows 10 PC before migrating older vaults and I noticed frequent lock problems when FUSE is used. After a lot of testing it appears that when a vault contains a .exe file in any folder/subfolder and that location is simply opened, it prevents the vault from locking. This is without running the .exe, just opening the folder is enough to cause the lock fail. Force locking the vault sometimes (not always) prevents the lock fail from reoccurring in the futu…

and also to the original report of @Joe210 here:

Vault lock failed with FUSE/WinFSP

Michael, have you tried to copy an exe-file to the vault, execute and close it an then try to lock the vault? I tried this on an other PC with a fresh installation of Cryptomator and a newly created vault and encountered the same problem?

I have seen this happen with .exe files (always), and also occasionally with .dll files. I have not tested it with excel files as I am copying them out of the vault before editing due to a different issue with a much older version of cryptomator (years ago, but out of habit and caution I still prefer to do this).

Please provide version and drive info. If you have file backups (you should always have these), then you could try updating to the latest version of cryptomator, or preferably just test the latest version on another computer to see if the issue persists.
