Studio shut down but process running in the background

Bruce Campbell

I shut down Studio 10 minutes ago, but the process is still running in the background. The process is using 13% of my CPU, which means it has been hogging one of my 8 threads for 10 minutes, i.e. as much CPU power as as single-thread process can get.

I have mentioned this before, but no one from SDL has commented on it. It looks like another Studio bug.

I am going to kill the process now, as I cannot move the files for the project until the process terminates.

I would, however, like to know whether it is safe to kill the process. I have repaired Studio after killing the process like this in the past. Is a repair necessary, or can I continue using Studio without a repair?

I am running Studio 2017, with the latest updates applied.

Regards,

Bruce Campbell

    Hi Bruce,

    I don't think this is a common bug and I have no idea what is causing this problem for you. I guess you'll only know if a repair is necessary after you try it!

    Rarely I kill Studio, the same as I kill any other application that from time to time causes me a problem like this.

    Did you run a batch task or some process that is perhaps unfinished?

    Regards

    Hi Paul,

    It may happen more than you think. I generally don't notice it unless I want to move the Studio files for a project. The Studio process keeps them locked until it terminates. I end up killing the process if I lose my patience.

    Watch the Studio process in the Task Manager the next time you shut down Studio. The window closes immediately, but on my previous computer running windows 7 and Studio 2015 or 2017, the Studio process continued in the background. Sometimes for a short period of time, sometimes for a long period of time. The same thing happens on my new computer running windows 10.

    Dragon also sometimes appears to have trouble when Studio hangs like this. (Studio hangs regardless of whether Dragon is running.)

    Best regards,
