AHK still running in Background. Task closed. No malware.
Posted: 28 Jan 2022, 04:44
Hey everyone,
I am running some scripts to arrange Chrome windows in a specific manner on my desktop and start a few more actions.
They are arranged like a cascade to keep the overview.
Skript outtake at the end of this thread.
The problem is that as long as the AHK script is not closed these active Chrome Browser Windows are jumping back and forth in to the background and foreground whenever some action is happening in these windows.
They usually will not do that as long as I arranged them manually with my mouse.
So my solution was to restart my computer and do it manually.
Longterm this will not work. So I tried to run the script (so it arranges all the windows) and ended the process via task bar. (also cant find anything further in the task manager). So in my opinion the AHK should be closed and dead.
But the windows still jump around unless I restart my computer.
Something is still running in the background or conflicting with the active chrome windows. Any idea?
Is there anything I can add to the end that will kill ALL AHK processes that have been run till that point? (My script ends with the "timeout 400"
It reads like this:
.
.
.
.
Start "" "C:\Bid\Links\2"
timeout 4
Start "" "C:\Bid\Links\1"
timeout 15
Start "" "C:\AHK\StartProgram\position.ahk"
timeout 15
Taskkill /im "autohotkey.exe"
timeout 2
Start "" "C:\AHK\StartProgram\outbid bids.ahk"
timeout 15
Start "" "C:\AHK\StartProgram\4h.ahk"
timeout 21
Start "" "C:\AHK\StartProgram\0001bit.ahk"
Timeout 120
Start "" "C:\AHK\StartProgram\Bidstart.ahk"
Timeout 400
