git add permission denied windows10

Question

When I run git add .

Then the following message:

error: open("~$myfile.pptx"): Permission denied

error: unable to index file ~$myfile.pptx

fatal: adding files failed

So I　run Icacls myfile.pptx /grant user:(F,WD)

But still error.

How to change the rigth permission?

~$myfile.pptx != myfile.pptx. One might be a temporary file with a lock? In other words, don't git add . but try adding only the specific file. — crashmstr

At which git status shouldn't show that file anymore and git add . won't try to commit it any longer.
