Gernot the test he gives in that article is exactly what mine fails. My only problem is I don't have that version of Windows 7 (mine is Home Premium) so I cant access the group policies that he uses as a fix (if I'm understanding it properly).
Interesting. Heres an article on the Microsoft website:

This is my problem exactly. Unfortunately the only "solution" they give is what I'm already doing and which is quite frankly annoying. ie. rebooting.
I'm going to add GLB directories to the anti virus checker as exceptions too as I'm using the one Gernot mentions in the other forum post. I may actually be experiencing two very similar issues rather than one issue and one cause. I'm definitely experiencing what is listed in that MS article I've linked to, but I don't think that is quite the same as what is happening when I compile for GLB then have to wait a while before I can compile again (so it will allow the overwrite of the previous program). If that was a handle leak I'd have thought it wouldn't correct itself.
Edit: Bah... Adding my work directory where I compile stuff to the Windows Defender exceptions didn't help. I assume you don't have to add every single directory under a given directory? Surely it would stop at the top one if you give it.
Edit: Solved! Thanks to you all for your help, and especially Kitty for setting me on the right track. I have a vague memory from many months ago when I got it into my head to go to town on my PC and cut down overhead due to some issues I was having with a certain computer game. Anyway it seems that during that time I must have disabled the Application Experience service completely (as in it wasn't showing up at all in the Services admin program). I just found some instructions on how to re-enable it and tested some file actions out (including compiling and recompiling a GLB program) and it all worked perfectly. For future reference what I did to "fix" the issue was open a Windows command prompt and type:
And now it seems to all work fine.
