Run Time Broker question

Recently I've noticed when I delete a file I get an error message saying that it is open in run time broker. If I wait about 5 seconds I can go back and delete it succesfully. Any iIdeas on how to repair this to permit immediate deletion ? ?

    High Runtime Broker usage is usually caused by background application permission requests. You can disable suspicious programs through Task Manager > Start Applications, or reset application permissions.
