Downloading Base Content hangs

Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?
• Yes. In 1.5.3 0

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
• The sim appears to open the Cessna sound file before any flight is created.
Updating the Cessna in My Library hangs, because the library installer cannot remove the sound file that another part of FS24 has opened; possibly at startup.
Windows prevents me from manually removing the sound file (because its open), so I have to kill FS24 in Task Manager.

As a retired developer I know the C++ code that performs startup and library management is not closing all files when it has finished using them.

I know there is a sound dll that runs as a thread. That’s an important area for the dev team to scrutinise.

If relevant, provide additional screenshots/video:
