A user with a Windows 7 64-bit OS computer has reported an issue where QuickBooks continues to run in the background on a computer even after the program has been completely exited out of.<br />
<br />
As a result he has to go into the Windows tax manager's processes tab and manually end all of the running QBW32.exe processes (see the screenshot).<br />

We would like to make it so that QuickBooks won't remain running in the background once it is closed to prevent issues like this.<br />

What can we do to resolve this issue?<br />
