QCef.exe continues to run and leaks memory.

I found that the 'QCef.exe' service in Steamfab 5.0.0.5 will sometimes continue to run even after I exit and close StreamFab. I'm fairly sure it also has a memory leak as it will slowly consume up to 85%~95% of all available memory and my PC starts getting sluggish (I have 32gb of RAM in my system). As soon as I end the QCef.exe task using Task Manager, performance is back to normal and a bunch of memory is freed up.

Yep, same here. Usually I have anywhere up to 10-11 qcef.exe processes running that eat up all my memory and cause my computer to lag BAD. It's very frustrating at times. Hopefully there's a fix. This was something I introduced as a problem months ago. Not sure if it was ever fixed but I do have the same problem as you with many versions.

Adding screenshots of the issue. Steamfab has been exited and closed properly, but QCef.exe continues running and consuming memory. You can clearly see its taken over 12gb of memory and still climbing.

there's another thread on this issue here - https://forum.dvdfab.cn/forum/software-support-english/youtube-to-mp3-youtube-video-downloader/395377-drm-downloader-idle-using-most-ram-causing-computer-to-lag according to post #5 it's supposed to be fixed.

I have had the same problem with Qcef.exe running either after an update or after a download fail and after shutting the Streamfab program off. I eats away at memory progressively slowing the computer down to a crawl. I made a batch file that checks if Streamfab64.exe is running and if not kills kills the task Qcef.exe. I run the Bat file using task manager every two hours as hidden. I have included the file as a .txt file. Change the extension to .bat and set up a task in Task manager. Works great. Enjoy
