How do I keep this running? It used to stay open/on.

Post by c1i4m0nd »

I'm not sure how long it runs before something other than me is closing it (or it's crashing?), but it's multiple times daily that it isn't open when it should always be. I can't see the QB icon anymore, then it is in the taskbar side menu and it disappears from there once it opens and restarts. I think it was new from a recent update, but it's been happening from before the latest one. I can find something to download and see if it quits in the middle of that if that matters. I didn't change any settings, but it's set to open on boot and I want to leave it always on. I really hope to fix it somehow because I have so many things on multiple drives and wouldn't want to have to figure out what was where for another app, nor redownload anything. I also have quite a few "missing files" that I want to stay that way instead of "oh i did this already..." ;p

I also noticed that qBittorrent (v4.5.0, x64) closes on its own after a few hours (~5,5 hours last time). I don't know how to troubleshoot this, I found a log file from qbit but it had nothing from the time of shutdown. I hope this isn't some setting I accidentally toggled and didn't notice.

edit: I checked and when you exit normally, this is logged in the log file, so it must be a silent crash after all.

a trace should be retrievable from Event viewers, application log as my best guess.
There are some option inside QBT about what to do when all D/L are done (menu>tools>on downloads done). Nohing is selected there?

There is indeed something in the event viewer, but I don't see much useful info in it :/
(It's not the setting you mentioned)

Here are the 3 entries I found in Event Viewer:
https://gist.github.com/Jendrej/0c545f0 ... ac8cd970c2
https://gist.github.com/Jendrej/9263f2e ... ade50090fd
https://gist.github.com/Jendrej/0c502a7 ... 2f8c952234

And the report file mentioned by the logs located at C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ReportArchive\AppCrash_qbittorrent.exe_bfbab131cc1a8dcf9603560acdf8bccbfe448c6_cdd03d13_b4747dec-bd7d-4817-b445-21e9df983508\Report.wer

Edit: I saw someone posted a bug report on GitHub, I sent my logs there too.
