file lock on *.win32-x64.msvc.node prevents package updates/install

[S-p-Ace]

Type: Bug

same as #1421 but with npm ci in an nx workspace.

with powertoys file locksmith I can see that the file is locked when the extension is enabled.
npm ci runs successful again after ending the process or disabling the extension.

related issues I could find:
nrwl/nx-console#1863

[dbaeumer]

As explained in #1421 the eslint server is kept alive for performance reasons when VS Code is running. If Node iself or one of its modules keeps a lock on these files there is little I can do as a developer of the extension.

I will close the issue since I have no plans to implement a mode that supports process spawning.
