The general case of solving the problem would be to find the process that is holding the handle.
To do this, download a utility such as handle.exe or procexp.exe from sysinternals.com.
check for *.dll handles under your %ORACLE_HOME%\bin.

its most likely:

- Oracle OEM data gatherer "OracleOraHome81DataGatherer"
- Oracle OEM Agent "OracleOraHome81Agent"
- Oracle TNS Listener "OracleOraHome81TNSListener"
- backup software agents
- Microsoft Disturbed Transaction Coordinator
- SNMP happy agent
