Is there an existing issue for this?

  • I have searched the existing issues (both open and closed).

What happened or didn't happen?

It is currently possible to have multiple instances of GetMyIP.exe running. If two or more of these instances are minimized to the tray (notification area), there is no way to close any instance after the first, other than to end the task via Task Manager.

There is no advantage to running more than one instance of GetMyIP. The app should be updated to only allow one instance to run.

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Start an instance of Get My IP and minimize it to the tray.
  2. Start another instance and minimize it to the tray.
  3. Check Task Manager, note that there are two instances running as Background Processes, each with a unique PID.
  4. Close one instance via the tray icon context menu. Note that the icon has been removed from the tray.
  5. Return to Task Manager and note that there is still an instance running as a background task with no obvious way to interact with it or shut it down.
