Hello,
I’m wondering why I always have multiple instances of Netdrive 3-related programs open at once? I’ve noticed this for better part of a year now, across multiple Netdrive 3 versions. Doesn’t matter if I’m using Netdrive or not; upon restart they always reopen.
NetDrive version: 3.7.687
Windows/Mac Version: Win10 64bit
Hello tdeingenis
Thank you for using NetDrive.
As you know, there are a kind of processe of NetDrive3.
The processes have a each role.
NetDrive.exe : UI process
ndagent : agent service process for UI. to mount even if not status of windows logged in.
ndmnt : mount helper for explorer.
nd3svc : mounting service process. one process per drive except parent nd3svc
bdcrashreporter : for detecting crash of NetDrive3.
Regards.
Thank you for the explanation detailing what each process is for.
However, I was more curious about why there were 3 instances of bdcrashreporter running and 2 of nd3svc (the latter of which you just explained). Seems like a lot of processes and instances of processes for an application with only 1 drive mounted.
Hello.
There are two nd3svc.exe processes.
The one nd3svc.exe is a parent service or a main service.
It is running even if there is no mounted drive.
The another one nd3svc.exe is a service process per each mounted drive.
The parent nd3svc.exe - bdcrashreporter.exe
The child nd3svc.exe - bdcrashreporter.exe
ndagent.exe - bdcrashreporter.exe
NetDrive.exe - bdcrashreporter.exe
Regards.
