Jblom1986, you're a life-saver. I've been dealing with this problem on & off for years, recently it's been nightmarish. Recently in Visual Studio I was going absolutely crazy because the compiled output from VS was getting locked for a few minutes after creation. The locking prevented Visual Studio from re-compiling. I noticed that it was the "system" process that was locking the files, I would have never guessed that 'Application Experience' was related. There are countless forums / questions floating around the internet discussing Visual Studio output files getting locked - none mention 'Application Experience'. Just wow. I've tried probably over a dozen proposed solutions to the Visual Studio output locking problem - I think I can finally sigh a sigh of relief.

I had indexer totally disabled / uninstalled and 'Application Experience' turned off.
To fix it, I did NOT re-enable / reinstall the indexing... I only went into the services list and set 'Application Experience' back to auto startup and manually started it up. Immediately Visual Studio compile problems ceased. I tried disabling 'Application Experience' again, and I still found zero Visual Studio locking problems. I tried restarting my computer, and Visual Studio was broken again. I tried starting up 'Application Experience' and then stopping / disabling it... sure enough... it only needs to run for a short time to do some sort of black magic. After that files stop getting locked whether the App Exp is running or not.
Just wow.
