Finally good news.

In taskmanager I had to stop one process,then go to services, find
xtu3service.exe, right-click, then "open services", find that service
again (now called XTUOCDriverService) in the newly opened window,
right-click, select properties, then set Startup type (? "Opstart
type") to Disabled.

After a reboot I was able to rename that common.dll to _common.dll,
rebooted again.
All this as administrator of course.

Finally after all that I was able to build fpc for 32-bit.

And now just hoping that with the nex Windows update it won't get
re-installed again.
