programs opening multiple back ground processes

H3RBSKI · 28 Aug 2016 at 19:47

ok so i have a problem where some of my programs open multiple back ground processes and dont appear on screen, i have to go into task manager and close all the processes then try again and again until it works.
the 2 main ones are league of legends and playstation now. any idea how to stop this as its driving me mad

guessing its multiple versions of them selves as when i load up league it tells me there is already and instance running "click ok to close and open a new one"
when i look in task manager it says
league client.exe
league client.exe
league client.exe
and for ps now its the same it just has 3 playstation now launcher.exe

Run some software and check if you have any infections etc messing with your files. I use HitmanPro which is free to register, best one around by a country mile.

just ran it and no threats found

Yeah to see that is perfectly normal , everyone get's the same thing, i just checked with psnow and i have the same thing occurring on both my main desktop and three virtual machines.

It's not a "duplicate" it is a different process "thread" from the same exe.

ah fair enough, still cant figure out why it closes to the task bar after the main ps logo dissapears though
