Hi everyone

Whenever I try to close the Thinlinc client it immediately reopens. This occurs whether I close through clicking the x button, right clicking the taskbar icon, or killing through Task Manager. I am running Windows 11 OS and am using Thinlinc v4.13.0.

Can anyone advise on this?

Thanks  
Jamie

Hi @Jamie

How are you launching the client initially?

The ThinLinc client has a `--loop` option, which will re-launch the client each time it closes (meant for “kiosk” or thin client situations). It may be that the icon you are using to launch the client specifies this option.

That was indeed the issue, I’d launched using the Loop client icon! Thanks for your help Aaron
