I am not interested in building GnuCash, but I wouldn't mind downloading and installing 5.4 with the fixes mentioned. I've generally used 'git' for source code control, so I'm not sure where to find the "stable build" from these sources.

Thanks, I'll check them out.

Re: [GNC] Residual Processes After Closing GnuCash
Hi, These are builds that have commits that have improvements and bug fixes that will be in the next release so my opinion is that they are better. However, the fix was done on Oct 2nd so if you want to grab the build from Oct 3rd there are only a couple of language translations and one fix for the stock assistant after the official 5.4 release: https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/commits/stable ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

Re: [GNC] Residual Processes After Closing GnuCash
Hello Glenn, thank you for the suggestion. I'm tempted to move to it, however, as a daily build I'm wondering if it's safe enough to leverage with something as important as my financial data. I understand it's in the stable daily build folder, but I get worried. Any thoughts?

Re: [GNC] Residual Processes After Closing GnuCash
What I did is you can stay on v5.4 with that fix/patch by grabbing the latest build from here if you don't want to downgrade: https://code.gnucash.org/builds/win32/stable/ On Mon, Oct 16, 2023 at 9:52 AM Maf.

Re: [GNC] Residual Processes After Closing GnuCash
Yes, you're right. Sorry for the confusion. I'll live with it until 5.5 comes out. Paul PS (afterthought): I can't see how, if the bug is only in 5.4, both the bug reporter and I had the 5.4 installer fail due to zombie processes (as 5.4 wasn't yet on our systems). Consider that it might instead be a side effect of some Microsoft change to OneDrive, as there were major Windows Update changes to this box a few days ago, just before I noticed the issue (in 5.1). The bug report history implies this is related to OneDrive, which is used a lot on this system but my GnuCash files are explicitly NOT in a OneDrive-backed folder. I continue to be suspicious of Microsoft trying to absolutely everything in the cloud (the new Outlook warns you that switching to it will cause all messages to be stored in the cloud, even for private email servers). -Original Message- From: gnucash-user On Behalf Of Maf.

[GNC] Residual Processes After Closing GnuCash
I initially reported this in the development list but am told it should be here instead (sorry!). On Win 11 every time I open then close GnuCash, another process called "GnuCash Program File (32-bit)" remains in the task manager's process list (i.e. five executions results in five zombie processes). This started in 5.1 and I was told that it was a known issue from 5.1 through 5.3, fixed in 5.4, but I am definitely running 5.4 (from a file called gnucash-5.4-1.setup from a file downloaded Oct 15th), and the issue persists. Rebooting or killing the processes solves the immediate issue but the behaviour remains.
