I've seen around 10 reports of this in a timeframe of a single day.

Not an extremely big issue, though some seem to be experiencing it.

Rebooting your PC or using this command: "shutdown /s /f /t 0" in an admin CMD should resolve the issue.

@XHelperZi was searching for this error fix and i just realized that 5 people have reported this issue in past 2 hrs and btw it took 15 to 20 minutes for my pc to close that app in the background completely (on its own).
