Exit leaves vara background process running
Hello,
When starting then exiting VarAC and Vara (in any order) it leaves a vara background process running (with no UI), which must be killed with Task Manager (Windows 10). If not killed, the next run dialogs "Error: another copy of VARA is running from this folder." So I have to run Task Manager and kill the running background process each time before running VarAC and/or VARA.
What I've tried: in Settings, uncheck "Automatically start VARA" then start VARA manually, then VarAC, then exit VarAC then VARA, in any order, and it leaves the background process running. Also, clicking "Disconnect modem" before exiting still leaves the background process running. Also tried taking ownership of the executables, and running as administrator, makes not difference.
Starting and then exiting VARA alone does not create the background process. Using VARA in Winlink does not create the background process. Otherwise I'd say it's a VARA problem. But given the behavior, it must be the way VarAC is creating and orphaning the vara background process (Winlink doesn't even make one; it runs vara under the session process).
I've searched this forum and the vara-modem groups io forum for this bug and didn't find it.
Thank you, and I hope there is a fix for this.
