This is very unusual to occur:
Error opening for writing file 'C:\SierraChart\Data\ES IB EXTENSIONS.Cht.temp': Windows error code 32: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. | 2023-07-26 06:58:51.514 *
Error writing Charts. Chartbook file: C:\SierraChart\Data\ES IB EXTENSIONS.Cht Error: Windows error code 32: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. | 2023-07-26 06:58:51.514 *

Make sure this file is not open in any other program on your system:
\ES IB EXTENSIONS.Cht

First thing to do is to restart Sierra Chart. Although that really should not be required.

If that does not help restart your system.

And for the record, an issue like this could not have been caused by Sierra Chart itself. There must be some other external cause causing these files to be locked.
