I run into no problems with using sumatra or okular, but Adobe Acrobat free
seems to have this problem. Is there a way to fix this? The way I run context
on windows is by making the doc in vscode (no extension, just plain vscode),
compiling in Windows Terminal and using a pdf viewer to then view stuff.
Acrobat locks files when open - as such, you have to close your PDF
before you run any process that modifies it (so true for all *TeX). It's
one reason there is a tendency not to use Acrobat as the main previewer
in TeX workflows. That said, some editors (WinEdt at least) will
auto-close the PDF when starting a run for exactly this reason.
