It sounds like a Win8 issue with how it treats "lock" file and their 
desktop "tiling" system.

Someone here must have upgraded to 8.1 or bought a system with it on, 
who can help you figure out "the mess" that Win8.x is doing to you and 
your files.

To be honest here, I am not a Win8 or 8.1 user, due to issues that would 
come up with how I do "work" on my Win7 systems that would be a real 
"pain" to do the same type of work on Win 8.x, according to all of the 
articles I have read.

Actually I am a Ubuntu user, using a different desktop than its Unity 
[tile based] desktop, and a Win XP and Win7 user for Windows work.  Too 
many packages I use on Win7 will not work properly on Win8, according to 
their creators [both free and paid software], and Forget Windows Surface 
device.
