What is vghd.exe doing, when doing nothing? Форум / Всё о iStripper

ver 1.2.232
No clips playing, disabled, no downloading and P2P off, it uses a fair amount of RAM - around 200Mb - acceptable as a lot of graphics is involved.
But CPU use goes up and down between roughly 10 and 50%.
The is quite a lot resources to use to do nothing - and it is effecting other uses of the PC.
Have restarted and reinstalled, with no change.
(Win7, dual CPU 3.5GHz, 16GB ram)

Also noted an odd behavior.
Closing iStripper - Quit from menu in taskbar-icon - does not shut program down.
It reduces RAm use to 40Mb, but is still using CPU.
restarting does start another vghd.exe, but doesn't start the interface.
have to shut down 2 instances from Joblist, before program beocmes usable again.

It works correctly for me. If I use Task Manager to monitor the behaviour then using Quit in iStripper's systray icon then the app first moves from the list of active apps to to the list of background processes and then within a second disappears completely. And I have no difficulty restarting it.
If I use "Close Window" from the active iStripper icon on the main part of the taskbar then it moves from the active App list to the background process list - just as it does if you use the normal window close X icon in the title bar. There is no problem in re-opening it.
In all of the cases the CPU usage by iStripper drops to 0% following the Quit or Close. When the app is active, but with no clips playing, the CPU usage is less than usually less than 1% (most often 0%) with peaks of up to about 3% as I cover and uncover parts of its window, but these peaks only last for a couple of seconds. These measurements were done on a 9 year old laptop, not a souped-up high performance system
It looks like whatever the problem is it is not one that affects all systems, maybe there is something odd about yours that is preventing proper shutdown. What version of Windows are you using?
EDIT: I have just seen from your first post that you are running Windows 7. I suspect that is the root cause of your problem. iStripper should run OK under windows 7, but I am not surprised that there are problems when doing so.

"close window" in the taskbar isn't supposed to close the program. Quit from the systray icon.

@TheEmu Thx for reply.
Problem was in Windoze - reboot after making sure no viruses, got iStripper back on the right track.
Puzzling thing was, that the problem only existed for iStripper.
@Z22 Correct - and I did "Quit" from taskbar. Things are called very differently in my language, so I often interchange wording for taskbar and systray.😉

If you Have P2P enabled
and there are Active P2P downloads.
when you QUIT iStripper, it will keep the Active P2P connections established till the download is finished or the connection lost.
In the Past, the Desktop app, and the Downloader App were two separate processes.
Both are combined in one now.
In the Past the Desktop app would quit and close,
while the Downloader remained active if you had P2P activity.
What is iStirpper doing when it's Idle?
iStripper is never really Idle.
it is constantly scanning the registry
It phones home regularly
It checks your data folders
It downloads news and updates
It downloads card images and info if checksums don't match
it checks and updates the standard set of full Screen Scenes
It checks and updates all of the Featured tabs.
It's performing P2P functions if you have P2P active
It's updating Previews if you have them Enabled.
So It is always busy in the background, including Disk activity, Internet Activity
It might even be Making you Lunch in the background.
Ok, it's not making you lunch.. just kidding about that.
But it is almost always busy.
It shouldn't be using 50% in the background though.. a few Percent now and then.....
I did experience an issue once, where iStripper kept repetitively downloading the same card images over and over.
and CPU use kept ***** in the double digits, but HD usage was at a constant 100%
Not being able to Write to a file, and Not confirm the checksum, was causing an endless Loop
Download, check CheckSums, CheckSums not match, Download, check CheckSums, CheckSums not match......
that issue has long since been addressed though..
