XYPlorer slowing down computer

[gggmmm]

Hi,
In noticed that something is slowing down my computer. In task manager there is one instance of xyplorer under "apps", but multiple instances under "Background processes". When I close the xyplorer window, the instance under "apps" closes, but all the others stay running in background processes. After I close all of them one by one from task manager, the machine runs normally again.

Those instances appear, when i have a pdf selected in xyplorer and switch on the preview pane. Each time i switch the preview on and off another process starts and each time i change the selected pdf (while having preview pane open) another new process starts. They never close, no matter what I do afterwards.
Previews of jpgs or other files do not trigger that extra instance.

Thanks

Adobe pdf preview handler?

pdf x-change editor.

This manual suggest to install the viewer, but on the pdfx-change website I could only find the download for the editor.

The download is here: https://www.pdf-xchange.com/product/dow ... scontinued

and in the faq entry clicking the first link (here highlighted in bold) would have led you to the same place...

Install the free PDF-XChange Viewer or the non-free PDF-XChange Editor*.

Thanks. Works so far.

I got the wrong program, because under Method 2 (Adobe stays installed) the link points to
https://www.tracker-software.com/produc ... nge-viewer
and not to the discontued adress under Method 1
