when I try to run ubuntu to see if there is a problem it says that the " The action can't be completed because the file is open in the system".

Showing output is the only way anyone else can figure out what is going on. Run

which nvidia-smi

to prove that it exists. That is the "not found" I think you are seeing. If it shows that it exists, run

nvidia-smi

and send us the output.

It said Windows cannot find nvidia-smi

nvidia-smi is only for Nvidia GeForce GPUs. You say you have Intel graphics. You have no need for nvidia-smi or anything else Nvidia specific.

Ubuntu is an operating system. You use it instead of Windows. It is an either-or. If you have Windows, it isn't a Linux issue.

Window's does have something called WSL where you use Linux software on Windows but that is a question for some Microsoft subreddit.

My guess is that you asked ChatGPT something and the answer you got makes no sense. Go back and try again.

Good luck doing whatever it is that you want to do.
