Here’s the weird stuff that happened to me: I’m using MC 8.5.1 (updated a few weeks ago). So I start Avid and oddly up comes the activation flag, okay do it, up comes the manager, which shows I’m activated (perpetual licence) which means I can’t activate, but MC won’t start – catch 22. Call Avid, some corrupt files in AppManger, delete those, works fine.
Next day, same issue except I also notice the computer is working hard although no apps are running. I open task manager and the C drive is running 100%, the RAM is 19GB and the CPU is 60%. The C drive is filling up fast and I can’t stop it. So I do the virus / malware search, nothing. I track it down to the AppData file which is being filed with thousands of AppMan_jetty folders,eg;
C:\Users\Michael\AppData\Local\Temp\AppMan_jetty-TEMP-old1814571676
Eventually filling the drive to 100% capacity. And guess what was creating all those files? Avid Application Manager. Anyone else had this sort of experience and have any ideas how to stop it?
