Lately my Arduino IDE is hanging a lot. That is fine as long as I am able to kill it. The problem is when it is running I can't find it in task manager. I have version 1.5.5 installed. What is the process name for arduino. I have tried searching on the internet but found nothing.
I have only 105 not 155, but it shows as an application not as a process.
Thanks for the reply JimboZA, I just found out that it is running under the name "Java(TM) Platform SE binary (32 bit)". I was really starting to lose my mind as it was getting hanged every few minutes. Anyways, 1.55 is beta version, I should switch back to the 1.0.5.
I'm running the latest version Arduino IDE 1.8.10 and just right now I got the same problem that the software hanged after updating a library.
The first thing I did is look in Task Manager for the process and I couldn't find it either, I too thought I was losing my mind so I googled it and the first thing that came up was this forum post and after reading this I was assured that I wasn't the only one and that it's running as:
Java(TM) Platform SE binary (32 bit)
sketch | Arduino 1.8.10
I first tried to only end the sub task but that didn't work so you need to click end task on the Java Platform, then you'll see that it will close the Arduino software.
I hope this post will add some info for anyone who recently started to mess around with Arduino just like me.
