I'm not sure how it ended up there, what is the suggested location and
how do I change it?

On a side question: why are you putting your GnuCash data file in the
(hidden) system folder AppData? I'm not sure that's advised...

To expand on Wm Tarr's response, GnuCash create a "lock" file when
it opens your books (at startup) and will delete the lock file
when it closes your books (or when you exit). You should always
cleanly exit from GnuCash before you logout, shutdown, or reboot
your computer. At Wed, 12 Aug 2026 09:55:25 -0400 Marty Landman

My wife and I have been using Gnucash for a few years now for
our small business, and the one problem that keeps happening
is after my Windows 11 Home edition updates and I have to
restart Gnucash I get the following message: Gnucash could not
obtain the lock for C:
\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\GnuCash.gnucash That database may
be in use by another user, in which case you should not open
the database. What would you like to do? I select 'open
anyway', then open, close, and then reopen it and the error
goes away.���� ����What is going on? How can I prevent this
error from happening in the first place? Marty
