bradsmithsite Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 Hello. I use uTorrent on Windows 7 64-bit SP1 and I'm trying to cleanly (not forcably) terminate the uTorrent process. When I execute TASKKILL /F uTorrent.exe, if the uTorrent window is open it minimizes to the notification tray. I looked for a command line switch, but it seems uTorrent has no switch, like "uTorrent.exe /quit". Disabled the "Are you sure you want to exit?" so it closes without prompting. How can I cleanly terminate uTorrent. Please advise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradsmithsite Posted May 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 Thanks for the information. You know if there is a way to keep the "Close to Tray" enabled and cleanly close uTorrent? I mean, does uTorrent have a command line switch to cleanly terminate itself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PiusX Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 In the UI settings I just unchecked the box Close to Tray That way it when I close with the exit or "X" it ask to close UT then I click ok. Way faster then what your trying to do and much safer IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PiusX Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 Didn't have trouble closing down utorrent just using the "x" to close. If you close and try to open utorrent again there will be conflict as it is trying to close down even though you thought you closed the app. If it doesn't close I just use the good old Cntrl-Alt-Break and look at the service tab and click on utorrent and click end process. Don't have to go through all those extras to make those programs to do something known in the Windows command structure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
