  • scfg.exe (Windows) ghost instances are possible

    From Rob Swindell@1:103/705 to GitLab issue in main/sbbs on Thu Jan 2 20:53:08 2025

    When closing SCFG ungracefully (e.g. using the red 'x' icon or the "Close window" popup menu option from the taskbar), can leave an invisible instances of scfg.exe running:
    ```
    tasklist | findstr scfg
    scfg.exe 36668 Console 1 34,216 K scfg.exe 36088 Console 1 34,048 K ```
    taskkill (or similar) must be used to terminate them, e.g.
    ```
    taskkill /f /im scfg.exe
    SUCCESS: The process "scfg.exe" with PID 36668 has been terminated.
    SUCCESS: The process "scfg.exe" with PID 36088 has been terminated.
    ```

    I thought you disabled the red X icon and "Close window" popups?

    I did, but if you use the taskbar, they're still options.
