Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/NickeManarin/ScreenToGif/issues/1349

Originally assigned to: @NickeManarin on GitHub.

Upon starting with my current settings, the program spawns multiple infinite subprocesses of its self.

I have tested with and without my preferences. I can recreate my settings but this issue may be present for other users. I hypothesized it may be from having portable mode with updating enabled but setting the PortableUpdate to False did not change the behavior. Cause is inconclusive.

I have update checks enabled, normally an update is automatically downloaded and opened in my archival software when finished, or the program opens to the main window if no updates are found.

OS: Windows 10 x64
ScreenToGif: v2.41.1 (issue has happened in older versions)

Attached is my current configuration file.
