bcd

I discovered this when I tried to use EasyBCD to well, edit by bcd, but it said "The current file is in use and cannot be opened by EasyBCD..."

So I tried to use handle.exe to stop it but it said

\Handle>handle -c 15C -p 4

Handle v3.46

  15C: File  (---)   C:\Boot\BCD
Close handle 15C in System (PID 4)? (y/n) y
Error closing handle:
The handle is invalid.

Why does system have my bcd open and how can i stop it? I have tried rebooting and googling.
