[GNC-dev] GnuCash Task Persists Despite Shutdown

Hi, I've been running 5.1 on Windows 11 and have decided 5.4 (installer
version 5.4.1) seems stable enough to upgrade.

 

For the first time in at least a dozen GnuCash upgrades, I encountered an
issue with the install. The installer insisted two instances of
"gnucash.exe" were still running even though I had shut down GnuCash 5.1
before starting the upgrade. Retrying the install also failed, but it
eventually succeeded after I terminated both instances with the Task
Manager.

 

I then checked with the new install (5.4 / installer 5.4.1) and discovered
that  "gnucash.exe - GnuCash Program File (32-bit)" remains in the task list
indefinitely after shutting GnuCash down.

 

Is this expected? Is it some weird post-caching in the task manager display
(they rewrote it for Win 11 with even less deterministic information - I
hate the way Windows boxes are getting more and more like Macs every
release)?
