Daz Studio not shutting down.

Those Things

Five minutes after shutting down Studio, my task manager shows this:

And I'm unable to restart Studio, without manually shutting it down in the task manager. Is there a fix for this?

Update: finally shut down after somewhere around seven minutes.

Yes, it can take a while - it has to free up resources, which is why it's making full use of a core/thread, and how long that takes depends on what was loaded.

This, coupled with frequently needing to restart Studio because the GPU memory won't clear unless I do, is driving me bananas. 

I will try to cultivate more patience. Thanks, all.

I am PC challenged. I have no idea what this means.

I would not recommend this - terminating DS while it's still tidying up is likely to prevent it from performing other shut-down tasks.
