Each time I run my automation it creates 5 x eowp.exe but they stay in memory and never go away. If I delete all processes it creates 5 more.

Is this the expected behavior?

Hi,

Internally we use eowp.exe to run the native Chromium browser engine. So as long as you have something that requires a browser engine (for example, the HTML to PDF converter), then you will see those processes. However those processes are managed by our library automatically. So you do not need to do anything particular about it. For example, if your application uses our HTML to PDF converter and has not called any of our API for a while (> 15 minutes), then most of those processes will automatically exit. There is one instance of eowp.exe will stay on as long as your application is running or when you explicitly call EO.Base.Runtime.Shutdown. The key is these processes are normal and should not be of concern.

Thanks
