Anki 2.1.22 Bug: Closing does not end process

When sync to AnkiWeb on close is enabled, the Anki 2.1.22 anki.exe process does not terminate after sync. It remains visible in task manager, and when attempting to open a new instance of Anki, the error message "Anki Already Running" is displayed. Reinstalling did not fix the issue. Reinstalling and disabling sync on open/close does fix the issue (but then requires manual sync).
I also have backups enabled, and haven't tested whether this plays a role.

   Please let me know if you can reproduce the problem using the latest beta: https://betas.ankiweb.net

   Hi Damien, I've downloaded the latest beta build (2.1.24beta2) and the problem persists as above - indeed it now seems to occur even with sync disabled.

   Hi Louis,

   I can't seem to reproduce the problem here, even when automatic syncing is turned on. Do problems persist when you start Anki with the shift key held down to disable add-ons?

   Hi again, and many apologies for the absurdly delayed response, which is in fact a result of the fact that I was unable to reproduce the bug myself on a different machine, and the fact that it seems to have mysteriously disappeared on my original machine too. I assume it was ultimately the result of something wrong on my end. Thanks, and I hope this didn't cause too much inconvenience.

   No problem, glad to hear the issue has gone away!
