To fully close Autodesk applications, including background processes, follow these steps:
-
Disable Autodesk Desktop App Startup: This prevents the app from automatically launching and running in the background.
- Press CTRL + SHIFT + ESC to open the Task Manager.
- Alternatively, right-click on the taskbar and select Task Manager.
- Click the Startup tab.
- Locate Autodesk Desktop App in the list.
- Right-click on Autodesk Desktop App and choose "Disable."
By disabling the startup item, you prevent the Autodesk Desktop App from automatically starting, ensuring a cleaner shutdown of Autodesk processes.
