QBittirrent preventing Windows shut down?
Posted: Sun Oct 09, 2022 12:07 pm
I just switched to a new computer (Intel 12th gen i5, 32gb ddr5, nvme ssd etc) running Windows 11 Pro, I followed instructions to migrate torrents from my old computer to the new one and installed QBittorrent V4.45 x64. Everything is working as it normally would with the exception that if I exit QBittorent the program window closes but if I attempt to then shut the computer down it gets stuck saying that "QBittorrent is stopping" but it never properly exists (and it shows in taskmgr that it's still seems to be running) and when I left the computer in that state for several hours it never shut down as QBittorent never exited. I finally had to pull out the network cable which finally caused QBittorent to exit allowing the computer to shut down.
Doing a Google search I found a number of people complaining about this but they were a number of years old and mostly seemed to be using Windows 7 or 8 / 8.1 and even a couple using Windows 10. So what can I do to keep QBittorrent from getting stuck in this state?
