Frequent COM port in use errors - ESP32 - Windows

More than 50% of the time I use “Upload and Monitor” PIO reports the COM port is in use. It should not be in use, I have tried deleting the “Upload and Monitor” terminal in VSCode, it doesn’t always fix the issue either.

This is a huge hit to efficiency when in the edit/compile/test cycle.

Anyone have a recommendation as to how to address this?
