How to solve Error : Could not copy ... Exceeded retry count of 10. Failed. - VS 2017

Question

I am having VS 2017 community edition and I have a console application. Every time I build I am getting this error.

 Error      Could not copy "obj\Debug\ConsoleApp1.exe" to "bin\Debug\ConsoleApp1.exe". Exceeded retry count of 10. Failed.  ConsoleApp1 

 Error      Unable to copy file "obj\Debug\ConsoleApp1.exe" to "bin\Debug\ConsoleApp1.exe". The process cannot access the file 'bin\Debug\ConsoleApp1.exe' because it is being used by another process. ConsoleApp1         

This is getting on my nerves as I have to close the VS2017 everytime this error appears. It runs only one time then I get this error.
