References have been made previously in passing while discussing file deletion issues to the addition of a file unlock function. See https://www.ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=52811&p=355872&hilit=lockhunter#p355872 or https://www.ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?p=404304#p404304.
This is an explicit request in Suggestions for a file unlock function within TC.

Why not use LockHunter? It works fine with Total Commander.

Re: Add File Unlock Function to TC
Well, sure we can, but it's another tool that needs to be used. I understand the point of view that replicating functionality which is readily available in an external tool is time perhaps better spent otherwise, though.

Re: Add File Unlock Function to TC
The problem is that there are no official functions to unlock a file. You need to wade through other process's images and look for open handles to that file, which is rather risky and may break with Windows updates. Therefore I prefer not to add it.

Christian,
Is there perhaps some kind of ready-made DLL TC could use?
