In Windows when I quit VDJ it still remains running in the background and I have to End Task the process using Task Manager.
Using the appropriate commands in Command Line or Powershell does not kill the process.
This has been an issue for me for close to a year now. VDJ 2026 also acts the same as VDJ 2025.
Any and all thoughts and sugeestions are welcome. Thanks bunches.

Any controller connected, and if so, does it also happen without the controller connected?

I've just learned to live with it. VDJ has done this for so many years now (on Windows anyway).
This PC stays on 24/7 and I run VDJ on it mainly to check out tracks or do some tag editing.
Sometimes when I close VDJ it shuts down fully. Often it doesn't - yet there's no difference in the setup or things connected/not connected. Occasionally it gets so stuck that only a reboot will kill it.

It's been like that for me for years now !!!

This sounds like a Windows only issue (although I've never seen this on the MSI laptop I trialled occasionally) - process seem to always end on Mac for me, and quickly.
That behavior still sounds wrong though, quitting the app should always eventually quit the process/release any resources it held.
Is there any kind of auto backup setting that you guys are using?

Will mention that VDJ always shuts down cleanly and completely for me. (both Win 10 and now Win 11)
The only cases that it does not shut down completely:
1) are those few times that VDJ hangs. In which case requires an "end task" in task manager.
Or, very, very rarely, a hang which is already rare, will require a OS reboot.
2) a crash where VDJ restarts on its own, (starting to analyze all tracks).
Just requires a normal VDJ restart, (clicking the X in the upper right corner)
And with the these last 2 situations, once reported, the dev team, quickly updates with a fix.
(unless it is something unique to my system/configuration/setup)

No issues with VDJ shutting down for me across 4 different Windows machines.

This just started for me in the last 2 weeks also.
Currently trying tonnes of things to rectify this as it means I have to reboot pc every time I want to open VDJ and because I did a clean install to try fix, it now means I have to configure everything after opening.
Not sure what the issue is, I'm going to try downgrade to an older version though
Edit: Meant to add that when I do force close from Task Manager, I cannot open VDJ again until I reboot as it just hangs within a second of opening.

Some updates from my own issue:
Tried the last 3 versions available on the wiki, seems this may be a problem with my pc so as VDJ was definitely fine until very recently and I always updated on the Monday before any gigs.
Should be fine with tonights gig (VDJ seems to work fine for the duration of the first time it is running after a reboot) so I'll do a full reinstall of Windows tomorrow and report back.
Fun times.
