What platform are you running Path of Building on?

Windows

How is Path of Building expected to behave?

When I open PoB it should update, and when I close the application it should completely stop. Both of these fail.

How does Path of Building behave?

When I open PoB the download starts and it always gets stuck after a couple of files sometimes "Downloading 1/60", sometimes "Downloading 8/60", etc. When I close the app it stays open in the background consuming 15% of my CPU and I have to end the task manually through my Task Manager.

Every time I open and close PoB a new instance of the app remains open on the background consuming another 15% CPU adding up each time and eventually slowing my computer to a crawl. (This has been happening for years and I've always had to uninstall and manually install every new update)

It happens on both the regular version and the portable version. Added exceptions on the firewall and my antivirus (Malwarebytes), still no luck.

How to reproduce the issue

  1. Open PoB
  2. Wait until it tries to download the update
  3. Close PoB
  4. Repeat...
