    I have used UltraEdit since 2009.

    I purchased a lifetime license when it first became available in 2014.

    I am very familiar with the program.

    After 15 years of being a moderately happy and satisfied customer, the 2024 upgrade now takes 3 seconds to close the active window.

    I imagine this is because of a new commitment to cloud-based services or AI or some other feature that does not interest me in the least.

    UE has suddenly started behaving like bloatware.

    I am using UE as I always have for very modest text files. Once in a while, I do open multi-gigabyte SQL dumps, but that is not the case at the moment.

    Does anyone know of a remedy to speed up exiting the program?

    I doubt very much that the designers of the bloat will be ready to trim the fat any time soon. After all, everybody knows that "More is more!"

      I could find out with free Windows Sysinternals (Microsoft) tool Process Monitor that there is a delay of about 2.175 seconds on exiting 64-bit UltraEdit v2024.0.0.35 on Windows 11 23H2 between closing the file %APPDATA%\IDMComp\UltraEdit\autorec\%COMPUTERNAME%@%USERNAME% (file with data for the case of an application crash or crash of Windows or an unexpected  power off of the computer or a user killing UltraEdit process instead of graceful terminating it) and opening of the file %APPDATA%\Roaming\IDMComp\UltraEdit\volatile\ue.in0 for saving the volatile data (mainly histories).

      There is recorded by Process Monitor in these 2.175 seconds:

      The issue is the creation of a thread with three local TCP reconnect attempts as seen on the lines 39 to 43 which takes more than 2 seconds because of 500 ms timeout for each reconnect attempt. The next lines let me think this has something to do with Microsoft Edge WebView2.

      I recorded also with Process Monitor the file system, registry, thread and network activity on exit of 32-bit UltraEdit v2024.0.0.35 on Windows 7 with Microsoft Edge WebView2 not available at all.

      There is also created the thread after closing the file %APPDATA%\IDMComp\UltraEdit\autorec\%COMPUTERNAME%@%USERNAME% and making the WinSock registry query accesses as it can be seen on line 58. But there is only one local TCP reconnect attempt. The delay is for that reason just 1.030 seconds instead of 2.175 seconds.

      I find it curious that on exiting an application a thread is created which tries local TCP reconnects. This seems to make no sense without knowing more details about the purpose of this thread. I think that on all Windows just one TCP reconnect attempt should be made and the timeout should be reduced to 20 ms as the source and the destination are on localhost, if it is not possible avoiding that thread completely on exit of UltraEdit.

      I played with some UltraEdit feature locks if there is one which changes the behavior on exit like locking the usage of RClone (support for third-party cloud storage systems as introduced with UE v2024.0) or Plugins (built-in WebView2 interpreted scripts as introduced with UE v2023.2), but no feature lock changed the exit behavior as described here.

      I reported everything written here also with an email to UltraEdit support. I suggest complaining also about the unnecessary long delay on exit of UE/UES by email to UltraEdit support. The more users do that the higher becomes the priority for UltraEdit, Inc. looking on this issue and improving the exit behavior of UE/UES.

        I could find out with free Windows Sysinternals (Microsoft) tool Process Monitor that there is a delay of about 2.175 seconds on exiting 64-bit UltraEdit v2024.0.0.35 on Windows 11 23H2 between closing the file %APPDATA%\IDMComp\UltraEdit\autorec\%COMPUTERNAME%@%USERNAME% (file with data for the case of an application crash or crash of Windows or an unexpected  power off of the computer or a user killing UltraEdit process instead of graceful terminating it) and opening of the file %APPDATA%\Roaming\IDMComp\UltraEdit\volatile\ue.in0 for saving the volatile data (mainly histories).

        Thanks for doing such excellent work on tracking what is happening.

        I will send an email to UE support.

        THANKS!

            I received today an email from UltraEdit support with the information that this issue is fixed in the private user verification build (UVB) 2024.1.0.14 of 64-bit English UltraEdit. The email contained a link for me to download the installer executable of this private build and the request for testing the fix with this UVB of UltraEdit. I backed up currently used 2024.0.0.35, installed the UVB and tested the exit behavior. Here is the reply mail which I sent to UltraEdit support.
            Mofi wrote:Yes! 64-bit UltraEdit 2024.1.0.14 exits instantly with default configuration and with my configuration. I started and exited this version multiple times on Windows 11 23H2. The application exit was always done without any delay.

            I could see with Process Monitor that all thread activities, registry and file system accesses recorded before with UE 2024.0.0.35 on exit between successful close of the file "%APPDATA%\IDMComp\UltraEdit\autorec\%COMPUTERNAME%@%USERNAME%" and access of the next file "%APPDATA%\IDMComp\UltraEdit\volatile\ue.in0" do not exist anymore with UltraEdit 2024.1.0.14.

            It is great that the application window disappears immediately again on pressing Alt+F4 and UltraEdit terminates itself really quick again.
            Conclusion: The application exit of next public released version of UltraEdit will be as fast as it was before version 2024.0.

            PS: I don't know when the next version of UE/UES is released public.

              Thanks so much, Mofi!

              I have been grinding my teeth several times today.

              I'm always thinking about something else when I exit UE. The thought that one click is enough and that I don't have to keep attacking the exit icon takes a while to emerge into the foreground of my attention, at which point I breathe various uncivil imprecations to myself.

                  I updated today also to v2024.0.0.44. The described delay on exit is not fixed in this hotfix version of UltraEdit for Windows v2024.0. There is no information about a fix of this issue on the UltraEdit hotfix information page listing the issues addressed with v2024.0.0.44.

                  However, I have installed currently on same computer also beta 2 of UltraEdit v2024.1 (2024.1.0.25) which exits instantaneously like former beta 1 of v2024.1.

                  My conclusion: This issue will be most likely not fixed in UltraEdit for Windows v2024.0. There must be waited some days for the release of v2024.1 by the UltraEdit users who are not beta testers like me.

                    Hi - I'm also a long0-tme UltraEdit customer going back to Win XP and the IDM days. So glad I was able to find this thread. The slow exit has been irritating me for ages.

                    Anyone have any inside info on when the 2024.1 version is planned for general availability?

                    Oh, and I also want to echo the thanks to @Mofi for digging into this and helping the rest of us to understand what's going on with this issue. :)

                    Thanks!

                        Thanks for the update @Mofi 

                        I see on the page that it says "v2024.1(released 2024-08-27)" but when you actually download the installer, you still get version 31.0.0.35. Maybe there's an "eventual consistency" thing going on somewhere in the background. I'll check back a little later on.

                          4:45 - Aug 28#12

                          Looks like the exe installer is still 2024.0, but the msi installer is 2024.1, so that's what I downloaded. Maybe someone should let them know that the exe installer evidently wasn't updated (for English, anyway).

                          Oh, and I confirmed that 2024.1 does indeed exit much more quickly. Thank goodness. :)

                          Thanks again!

The same must be done for the other languages and for UEStudio.

                              I will report this to UltraEdit support by email.
