Sonarr version 2.0.0.4146
Windows
I have 2 instances of NzbDrone.exe in the Startup tab of the Task Manager, is this normal? I recently added a shortcut to NzbDrone.exe in the startup folder because that’s apparently the correct way to start Sonarr. I don’t remember how I had it configured to run on startup before making the shortcut in the startup folder, is there a way to find out?
No it’s not, sounds like you have the service running and trying to start it via the startup folder.
If you need access to Mapped Network Drives or in some cases security on shares then its recommended, but the Windows service is a valid way to run it.
Probably the Windows service, unless you started it another way.
Thanks for the info! I was using a mapped network drive but had some issues, so I changed it to a UNC path. I also changed it to run from the Startup folder. Is there a preferred way to start Sonarr? I’m not sure why, but one instance has a high impact on startup (with 34 instances of google chrome) and the other medium impact (with only 2 chrome instances).
I’m assuming I want to run it in the startup folder rather than a service. What’s the best way to stop it from running as a service (I can just disable it in the startup tab of the task manager, right?)
Thanks again for the info!
Disregard… ServiceUninstall.exe did the trick
Not sure whats up with the Chrome instances, Sonarr only launches the default browser when running in user context (startup folder, running NzbDrone.exe or NzbDrone.Console.exe) and the setting is enabled or if you ran one of the executables again after it was already running.
