Problem Details:
So since a few months ago, I have to restart my computer after an osu update to play, which is pretty annoying.

First off, I can't update ingame, I have to manually start osume to update, otherwise the game won't update. (it just does nothing at all)
That's not the main problem, but I thought it might be related to the current issue, so I mentioned it anyway ~

Well, after I run osume and want to start osu again, the window doesn't pop up, the process is running, tho.
And I can't kill the process. I've tried to via task manager, doesn't work.
I ran osume again, which's showing me the error seen on the screenshots.
Also, I tried to close it using CMD, didn't work either.
It only works after I restart my computer and it's seriously pissing me off. >__<

Hope someone can help me with this! :3

Go to processes and search osu.exe
Then click op stop process (?) and it will close.
If you do it via the first panel (2nd is Processes) it doesn't Always work

That's what I did.
osu isn't listed as running, but the process does.
I'm bad at explaing so here are two more screenshots.

Hmm. Does this happen all the time? Does it close after a while (after 5 minutes?)? This could be a privilege problem - try running osume.exe as Administrator.

It happens all the time. (I can't remember exactly when it started, tho. about 4-5 months ago.)
And I always run osume as admin, cause it doesn't work otherwise.

but thanks!

edit
forgot to answer when it closes. - it doesn't. I have to restart the computer.

Do you have steam running by any chance?

I'm not sure which programs were running when I updated, but steam was definitely not.
LoL might have been open or TERA Rising.
When I tried to kill the process, everything was closed except for my browser and puush.

I had the same issue some weeks ago. No steam or any other "always running" programs here.
