Can't modify the program folder after opening and clossing it #142

Closed lfvideos closed 3 years ago

lfvideos commented 3 years ago

Describe the bug After running the program and closing it i can´t seem to be able to rename or modify it. For example when i open it and there is a new update, i cant delete the old version and get the new one in the same folder because something "is still running" i can't seem to be able to find it in the task manager but i have to restart my pc in order to be able to delete/rename the folder

Environment Information

To Reproduce (optional) Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Open the exe
  2. close the exe
  3. try to rename /delete the folder
  4. See error

This is not an error I have run into before. I have some questions:

  1. Are you running a download before closing the app? If so, is the download complete?
  2. Do you run it in perpetual mode, or have a download schedule set?
  3. Does it only happen after alerting you of a new version?

Also, can you please attach your log file?

1.- Sometimes yes. The download seems to be complete when i do. 2.- Negative, all my downloads are manual 3.- Apparently yes, i've been trying to reproduce it but so far it only happens when im installing a new version into the same folder (after closing the app)
