Multiple instances of UMS-bug (5.5.0)

Post by huulio »

Even if "Run only one instance of UMS" is ticked I can start as many servers as I want, so it seems to be broken now.

Windows 10. I attached a screengrab where you can see I ran USM quite a few times, could do as many as I want. And see also the one instance box is ticked

It could be only that icons are not cleared when the UMS stops. If you move the mouse pointer over them they should disappear.

You wish :-)

They are real processes, not ghosted icons. A snippet off task manager:

I'm not sure it's exactly the same issue, but i can start multiple instances in Win7 if i doubleclick the UMS icon second time within a second or so.
Interestingly, It seems that if a second UMS instance has been allowed, i can start as many as i want ( no matter how long i wait )

On my system I can start UMS, wait an hour or how long I want and still run more instances. Btw I forgot to mention I am running UMS as Administrator (as told by the info bubble when you hover a pointer over the setting).
I tried with other versions ranging from 4 to 6 and I can run multiple UMS on all of them, I am quite sure this didn't happen on Win7 or Win8 so it's probably a Win10 issue. Not a huge issue I admit but thought to bring it up anyways.
