CEF Forum

I've integrated CEF3 into a MFC application without multithreaded message loop, using a separate executable and using CefDoMessageLoopWork. It works well, however, I noticed that whenever I close a browser (browser->GetHost()->CloseBrowser(true)), instances of my subprocess do not close. So in the task manager it looks like this:

After calling CefInitialize (without opening a browser):
MyApp.exe
SubProcess.exe

After opening a browser:
MyApp.exe
SubProcess.exe
SubProcess.exe
SubProcess.exe
SubProcess.exe

After closing the browser:
MyApp.exe
SubProcess.exe
SubProcess.exe
SubProcess.exe

I was wondering if this was normal? The 3 remaining SubProcess.exe will remain there as long as I don't call CefShutdown(). I've tried to manually kill the processes, and nothing happens (app doesn't crash and I can still re-open a browser). I don't know if there's some resource I'm not properly disposing or if it's the expected behavior.

Thanks very much

There are different types of subprocesses (network, gpu, etc). Those subprocesses will run until the application terminates.
