Sublime Text 3 does not exit cleanly - must kill process to start again

[lebolo]

Summary

When I quit Sublime Text 3, I notice a _sublimetext.exe process still running in my Windows task manager (~90MB memory). Trying to open Sublime again fails (no Sublime window pops up). A new _sublimetext.exe process is spawned each time I try to open it. It continues to fail until I forcefully (End Task) kill all _sublimetext.exe processes then try again.

Expected behavior

Sublime Text 3 to open regardless of having been recently closed.

Actual behavior

Sublime Text 3 does not open once closed until process is forcefully killed.

Steps to reproduce

1. Open Sublime
2. Exit Sublime
3. Try to open Sublime

   Environment

   • Windows 7 x64
   • Sublime Text 3 Build 3114

Here is the console output upon successfully opening.

[lebolo]

Others have written about this on the forums.

[wbond]

Have you reproduced after following the directions at http://www.sublimetext.com/docs/3/revert.html?

[lebolo]

I hadn't tried it before, but just tried now and it still doesn't work. Explicitly:

• Closed Sublime and checked that there were no _sublimetext.exe processes
• Moved C:\Users\hbi91877\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 3 folder to Desktop
• Moved C:\Users\hbi91877\AppData\Local\Sublime Text 3 folder to Desktop
• Opened Sublime
• Closed Sublime (noticed _sublimetext.exe still running)
• Tried to open Sublime but nothing happens

[wbond]

Can you provide a debug log of your reverted state?

[lebolo]

Sorry, by debug log, do you mean the console output I pasted above (in the non-reverted version)?

[wbond]

Yes, my apologizes.

[lebolo]

No problem =) Here it is:

[wbond]

Do you have any files open when it hangs?

Does it hang if you don't have files/folders open?

Does it hang if you turn indexing off? ("index_files": false setting).

[lebolo]

Do you have any files open when it hangs?

I usually close Sublime with files and folders (and a project) open. I would "open Sublime" by double clicking on a txt file that I previously had open.

Does it hang if you don't have files/folders open?

I closed all files and folders and projects, then closed Sublime and tried to open by clicking on the Sublime exe file and nothing happens.

Does it hang if you turn indexing off? ("index_files": false setting).

I set "index_files": false in my user settings and tried closing/opening Sublime, nothing happens :sob:

[wbond]

I wonder if you have a large session file. Can you look in %AppData%\Sublime Text 3\Local\ and see how large your session files are?

Is your user folder on a network share?

[lebolo]

%AppData%\Sublime Text 3\Local\Session.sublime_session is 41 KB. The folders are on my local (C:) drive.

[ngsann]

I am also facing the same problem but it occurs only on the 64bit version of Sublime Text 3 for Windows (both installer and portable for build 3114). The 32bit version works fine on Windows 7 64bit.

[Technoblazed]

+1

[AntonRand]

@ngsann Same for me - The process isn't cleanly exiting for 64 bit but 32 bit version works fine.

[dsksatish]

+1 Sublime text does not shut down cleanly. If I have to reopen, I would have to first kill the process in task manager.

[NicholasDenaro]

I am seeing this issue on build 3126, 64 bit version.

[wbond]

Can this be reproduced on build 3129?

[NicholasDenaro]

I'm still on build 3126 and it is closing cleanly now. There must be some external cause.

[ngsann]

I installed build 3126 64 bit on Windows 7 (the same machine that was causing the crash previously) recently and it is closing cleanly this time. I did not uninstall the 32-bit version though. Either it is fix or maybe one of the plugins was not behaving previously.

[mruhn]

Is there any resolution to this? I am still having the issue on 3126 and Windows 7.

[jonmckay]

Still an issue 3126 Windows 7

[wbond]

I'd be curious if anyone can reproduce on 3127+, 3131 being the latest dev build. We are using a newer version of Visual Studio and I am wondering if it will have an effect since users are only reporting issues with the x64 build.

Unfortunately I can't reproduce the issue.

Is it possible you are all running the same anti-virus software, or something like that?

[mruhn]

I actually tried the 3131 build yesterday to no avail. I was able to just install the 32-bit version since it seems to work fine. Running my company's installation of Symantec for anti-virus, not able to uninstall or disable it or I would test that theory.

[wbond]

Does Symantec mention anything related to sublime_text.exe?

[borela]

I had this problem before but it is rare, usually happens when I play too much with the plugins and syntax system, at one point, changing the syntaxes and saving them wasn't triggering the auto reload and I had to reopen sublime for the changes to take effect.

To make it stable again I had to uninstall and delete all caches in the %APPDATA%\Local\Sublime Text 3 directory. When it got stuck it felt like sublime was waiting for a plugin to shutdown.

[mruhn]

Unfortunately Symantec isn't complaining about sublime_text.exe anywhere that I can find. However it did decide to quarantine the 3131 build installer for some reason.

borela - I thought the same thing and tried to do a fresh install. I still couldn't get it to work, but perhaps I missed some cache files somewhere. Might give it another try.

[defmonk0]

Was having the same issue on 3126 and some earlier versions. It was pretty hit or miss, so I could never determine what exactly was causing it as well. Tried updating to 3131 and with preliminary tests it seems to be working correctly now.

I'll come back and edit this/post again if I notice the problem resurface, but in the meantime, the updated VS compiler may have fixed it like @wbond suggested.

[rlodbrok]

+1, same issue. Win7, ST3, build 3126, 64bit. I always close files before closing the window. Pressing the window close cross (top right) or file > exit give different results. Window close just closes the GUI but in the background sublime is still running and GUI cannot be started again. Exit cause sublime to "not respond", when i close the "frozen" window then windows asks me to terminate the process or wait. My solution, never close sublime :/

[NicholasDenaro]

I posted previously that Version 3126 was working for me. It seems like it is no longer working and I'm still experiencing this problem. I don't have any plugins installed. I will also test the dev build. Build 3142 doesn't seems to work for me either.

[fyears]

I can also reproduce the bug using the latest portable stable 3143 x64 version on the Windows 7 x64.

Steps to reproduce

Download the stable portable version Extract it to some where Open Sublime (even at the first time) Exit Sublime (Notice that, sublime_text.exe is still in Windows Task Manager) Try to re-open Sublime

[anmil]

Same issue here Windows 7 64bit Sublime 3 Build 3143

[wbond]

This seems like it is affecting a small number of users, so we need to figure out what is common between them. Perhaps some of you who are affected can list the packages you have installed?

[anmil]

I have a new installation with only a few packages installed

{
    "bootstrapped": true,
    "in_process_packages":
    [
    ],
    "installed_packages":
    [
        "File Rename",
        "nginx",
        "Package Control"
    ]
}

UPDATE: with settings

{
    "default_line_ending": "unix",
    "fold_buttons": false,
    "highlight_line": true,
    "ignored_packages":
    [
        "Vintage"
    ],
    "preview_on_click": false,
    "rulers":

    ],
    "save_on_focus_lost": true,

    "tab_completion": false,
    "tab_size": 4,
    "translate_tabs_to_spaces": true,
    "use_tab_stops": true
}

[wbond]

@anmil Ok, what about antivirus/security software?

[Technoblazed]

I haven't been able to repeat this since I moved to Windows 10. So fear I'm no longer of use here.

[anmil]

New installation of Windows 7 64 bit, few weeks old. I use Microsoft Security Essentials for AV

[keith-hall]

When you close ST, and the sublime_text process is still running afterwards, is plugin_host also still running? Does manually terminating plugin_host before closing ST help the sublime_text process to quit gracefully?

[anmil]

Yes plugin_host is still running and I tried killing it first and didn't change anything. It also does not seem to start back up, I don't know if that is an issue or not.

[rlodbrok]

fixed in build 3143 for me.

[trystero11]

I'm seeing the same problem with 64-bit Sublime Text 3 (build 3143) on 64-bit Windows 7. When I kill Sublime Text, plugin_host.exe quits, but sublime_text.exe never does, and I have to kill it manually before I can start Sublime Text again.

The same configuration starts without issues on Windows 10.

Correction: Sometimes sublime_text.exe does shut down; it just takes several minutes to do so. I'll attach a Process Monitor capture file showing all activity by sublime_text.exe on one of my startup/shutdown cycles in case it helps you get a better idea what causes the long delay.

Same problem, SPECIFICALLY with Windows 7 Pro 64bit

Problem does not exist in Windows Server 2008, 2008 R2, 2012, 2012 R2, 2016 I checked.

Funny thing is though, it WORKS PERFECTLY FINE, in SAFE MODE

There might be a windows service that is probably conflicting with the closing process

Hope that helps to lead to a resolution.

[NicholasDenaro]

I have had this issue for previous builds, but I can confirm that it still exists on build 3156 for Windows 7 Pro 64bit.

Not sure if it was listed before, but if you click File > Exit the window hangs, rather than having the window close completely, and then windows will let you kill the process.

[ziabytes]

I have found a solution!!! It's a workaround, but hey it works.

-Right-click the Sublime Text 3 Shortcut, -Properties -Go to Compatibility tab -Check 'Run this Program in compatibility mode for' -Select "Windows 7" -Check 'Run as Administrator' -Okay

Somehow this fixed the problem, and when I undid these changes, the problem came back.

With this, we can mark it resolved, at least.

[gblydenburgh]

I have this problem as well. The Ziabytes recommendation did work for me (Run as Admin). This is not ideal in a corporate environment where admin privileges are restricted.

[RyanMenard]

I have found a solution!!! It's a workaround, but hey it works. ... Somehow this fixed the problem, and when I undid these changes, the problem came back.

@ziabytes, it's great to have a workaround but I disagree that this means this can be marked as resolved. I could easily do this at home if I owned a windows machine, but when I'm at work we don't get local admin on our machines so this workaround doesn't help in this scenario at all and this remains an issue. To offer up a second alternative I am able to run it successfully in Compatibility Mode for Win7 if that's an option for anyone that can set compatibility but can't run as administrator, but again I'm sure there are some people that won't be able to do this.

@wbond, on a separate note, I don't know if this is related to the issue or helps in any way, but I'm noticing that when I close Sublime and it remains in my Win7 task manager, the file %sublime_dir%\Data\Index\000005.ldb is remaining open in Sublime. This is happening in a fresh install of build 3176 and not using any plugins at all in Win7 Enterprise Service Pack 1.

[wbond]

@RyanMenard That is interesting. I wonder if something is going funky with software on your machine blocking access to that file somehow? Perhaps antivirus? Does it ever finish closing, or does it hang forever?

[RyanMenard]

@wbond It hangs forever (the longest I've ever let it hang is overnight after leaving work for the day).

I just cloned a second copy of my sublime directory and ran sublime from there. Using the cloned copy I was able to manually open and save the 000005.ldb file in the original sublime directory so it doesn't appear that the file is being protected or anything and seems more like sublime is getting hung up prior to releasing that file on termination.

[Dubz]

I'm going to dig this back up because I am also having this problem. Sublime appears to close, and doesn't show on task manager, but if I open process explorer, it still shows. I cannot terminate it at all either. I am forced to log off and log back in to close it.

Another example is that I have Sandboxie installed on my computer and it has some folders set to auto run in sandboxed mode. If I open something in one of these folders (and it opens with Sublime), it acts similar, but when I close the process it sticks around in the sandbox. I cannot terminate it from Sandboxie either. Seems like Sandboxie is also failing it's job here as well.

Windows 10 x64 v3.2.1 Build 3207 Happening for months now

[Dubz]

I downloaded Process Hacker and tried using that. It gave me some more information. The error message (on termination) said "Unable to terminate sublime_text.exe (PID #####): An attempt was made to access an exiting process."

Seems like it is exiting, but being caught on exit and not able to finish closing out.

[Dubz]

I rebooted, then reinstalled on top of the current installation. Seems to be closing fully now.

Just leaving this here in case anyone else has similar issues.
