Launchbox closes when game closes

[51mm5]

A recent issue is that my Launchbox closes or crashes when I close a game.  Ive updated Launchbox to the latest version.  Was fine before.  Any ideas why this may be occuring?

Im still getting this issue.  After I close any game, Launchbox will automatically close with it and I have to start it up again.  Will logs show what the issue is?

My specs are as follows:

Launchbox 13.17

Windows 11 Home
Processor:    Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10700K CPU @ 3.80GHz   3.79 GHz
GPU: Nvidia 4070 Super
Installed RAM:    32.0 GB

Hi @51mm5 thanks for the update and apologies for the issue here. May I confirm a few things to try and get to the bottom of this:

- Your original issue mentioned that LaunchBox closes or crashes, whenever you close a games. Do you happen to know which one it is (i.e are any error messages being displayed), 

- Under Tools > General do you have any of the following options checked (Minimise LaunchBox when launching games OR Restore LaunchBox when exiting games)?

- Does this happen for every game, regardless of platform, or do some games not exhibit the issue?

- Your original post mentioned that this is something that only started happening recently. I realise it's been a while since then, but is this an issue that happens continuously (i.e it's been like that ever since) or it only sometimes happens?

- If you're able to do a quick screen recording showing the issue, that would be incredibly helpful

 

Let us know and we'll try to get you sorted. 

Cheers,

Thanks for reaching out @AstroBob.  To answer your questions

- Your original issue mentioned that LaunchBox closes or crashes, whenever you close a games. Do you happen to know which one it is (i.e are any error messages being displayed),  - No error message, Launchbox just closes

- Under Tools > General do you have any of the following options checked (Minimise LaunchBox when launching games OR Restore LaunchBox when exiting games)? - Not checked, screenshot provided

- Does this happen for every game, regardless of platform, or do some games not exhibit the issue? - Seems to happen to any game whether native PC game or an emulator

- Your original post mentioned that this is something that only started happening recently. I realise it's been a while since then, but is this an issue that happens continuously (i.e it's been like that ever since) or it only sometimes happens? - Happens 100% of the time

- If you're able to do a quick screen recording showing the issue, that would be incredibly helpful - Video below of me trying a pc game and an emulator
