Bizarre Remote Desktop activity.
I am running a Win 7 64 bit PC. It runs a little known, but very powerful email client called The Bat!
I have run a (now) legacy version of The Bat1 for probably 15 years, accessing and using it remotely from another PC on the same home, hard wired, network. This other PC is also running Win 7 64 bit.
Now, previously I left TB! running 24 hours a day, seven days a week. I could open and close the Remote Desktop sessions with impunity, TB! was always still running in exactly the same state as I had left it in, when I restarted a Remote Desktop connection, as were any other apps on the remote PC that I had left open.
I updated TB! recently to the current version. The update seemed to go fine, and it SEEMED to perform very well. BUT, I soon discovered that whenever the Remote Desktop session was closed, either at the remote end, or at the PC running TB!, this now updated mail application took it upon itself to perform a mail folder check, and in doing so freeze up and lock solid, demanding that I use Task Manager to kill the folder check process, and the main mail application.itself
Now, this may well be, and I assume IS some anomaly with this later version of TB!, but how and why could closing a Remote Desktop session from either the remote or local PC cause an application to "do things" of its own accord? I have never seen any other application act like this...
Any insight greatly appreciated, my legacy version of TB! does not do this, and it never has, it was always there on the remote PC as left, and nor has any other app I have ever run on the remote PC.
Bizarre, or can anyone suggest a reason? Thanks and all the best.
