Can't Quit Properly/End Task + 100% Disk Usage + Shutting Down issue.
Posted: Wed Apr 12, 2023 11:20 pm
Hello
TL:DR - qBittorent goes nuts and just won't die!
I have Windows 11 Pro, a new 12700K system, and qBittorrent v4.5.2.
While qBittorent is installed on the Windows drive (PCIe 4.0 NVME), I have a cheap but big - 8TB Seagate 3.5" 5400rpm SATA 6Gb/s BarraCuda HDD for Downloading/Storing my Torrents (bought new with computer - not old).
I have a constant issue where the SATA drive runs at 100% Disk Usage pretty much permamently - dipping only briefly and occasionally when using qBittorent.
What's worse - even after I close qBittorent; the SATA Disk Usage - stays exactly the same - appearing to be maxed at 100% Disk Usage.
I have found that qBittorent is usually still running in Task Manager even after I exit it.
When I try to End Task in Task Manager - it either doesn't work at all... or doesn't work for ages (eg 10-30+ mins etc).
Maybe it will always end the task and the 100% Disk Usage eventually - I just don't know?
This usually prevents me from Shutting Down the computer when I have these problems (when it's task is still running and or the 100% Disk Usage)... so I have learned to do everything I can to avoid shutting down unless the qBittorent task is finally dead.
It's to the point where I'm kind of afraid to use qBittorent anymore because I worry about a compromised shutdown screwing up my Windows installation and or stopping me from booting up again!
I desperately need to fix this somehow.
I just did a fresh install of qBittorent days ago for the record.
I hope someone can help me out here as I'm sure I'm not the only one who might find the solution helpful.
Thank you for your help.
