Zoom runs in background after session consuming vast amounts of CPU

BetaV

When I exit a zoom meeting, I also close any open windows on the taskbar, but the Task Manager indicates three zoom processes are still running and consuming (at odd times) a LOT of CPU. This locks up other applications like Outlook and Word. 

How do I prevent this, besides opening TM and ending these tasks manually?

Hey @BetaV, if the Zoom application is not closed the client will run as long as it's connected and open. 👇

 

 

If I am reading your discussion correctly 'after your session', are you referring to the Zoom client still being open or closed? You can right-click on Zoom in the taskbar and close Zoom from there. 

 

Looking forward to your response!
