The debug build behaves in the same fashion. I can't kill these processes without a restart.

EDIT: Yes I know I wrote four instead of three.

:wtf: That is ... strange. Killing a process is something the OS does without asking the killed process.

Can someone reproduce this with a debugger attached?

Are you using Avast anti-virus?

Just saw the same thing with fs2_open_3_7_3_SSE2_20151121_71cf169.exe - 3 copies in memory, about 100k memory used and impossible to kill.

Turning Avast off seemed to fix it.

Wow, forgot about this for a while. So... yeah. Disabling the file system protection on Avast allows me to start FRED normally.

Glad it helped.

Latest version of Avast *seems* ok, tho.
