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 Paul,

    As I mentioned, it is "frequently" a problem. And I am not the first person to mention this problem in the Studio forums.

    But in the grand scheme of things it is just an inconvenience ...

    Studio continuing to run in the background is also an inconvenience. And I have also mentioned this before in Studio forums. Again, the process does not *always* continue running for a long period of time in the background. It does so frequently enough to be an inconvenience.

    But I am not pushing anyone for an answer.

    I just thought I would ask whether anyone knows what it is doing when it hangs in the background like this and whether killing the process is likely to scramble any files.

    If no one has noticed this behavior, then I will just continue killing and repairing when I have to move project files and the Studio process is taking too long to terminate.

    Thank you for your comments :-)
