What is QtWebEngineProcess.exe
« on: 2017 September 26 00:35:57 »
Hey guys,

What is QtWebEngineProcess.exe and why is PI running two copies of it? I just had a big slow down with PI and then noticed this when checking the Windows task manager.

Regards,
Bob

Hello Bob,

I just opened Pixinsight (v 1.8.4 on Win7 x64 OS) and there is no 'QtWebEngineProcess.exe ' showing up in my device manager at all. Is the process starting when you open Pixinsight? As far as I could read from the web is that people have same problems when "origin" is installed (gaming platform).

They show up when I start PI and go away when I close PI and I don't play any games.

QtWebEngineProcess?
I guess it has something to do with Qt  :)

On the menu bar go to Resources->Qt Version to find out more ...

QT has been used with PI for a while. This posting might help a little.

If you check the beginning of the thread you will see more about QT and PI.
