Strange.. So you were having this on Windows too?
So far we've only had Linux cases.

I've been seeing this on windows for a while now. Since the change to how unrar is handled.

I can confirm that replacing the unrar with the latest version from rarlabs fixes the issue.

I'm still getting the "WARNING 11 hours ago Unable to stop the unrar process." message with 2.3.8 on windows 10. Anything I can do to help troubleshoot? I'm not extracting to a network/nas drive, but it is to a different internal drive.

You're on Linux/Unix, right?

The included rar in SAB is only for Windows.

Yeah. Ok, I'll update it manually, thanks.

I'm using Win10 v2.3.8. I'm getting ' Unable to stop the unrar process.'
It's happening multiple times a day.

unrar.exe is v5.7.0

I never see unrar.exe hanging around still running. I love this software, I hope it can be resolved.

Do you use an external drive for your Complete folder?

Maybe if we detect this, we should just disable Direct Unpack as it seems to be unable to work on these systems.
