Try stopping the indexing service. I had the same problem and found an MS
article which stated that the Indexing Service will cash the dll.

I was able to either reboot my machine or wait about 10-20 mins and the
problem would go away for a while then creep back. After stopping the
Indexing Service I do believe I never saw the problem again.

I will try and find the article.
