Question

Why does the Windows Task Manager show 2 lmgrd processes running at the same time on the same system?

Answer

This is expected behavior when lmgrd is installed as a service. On running 'lmgrd' as service, two 'lmgrd' processes can be seen in Task Manager. One of which represents the 'lmgrd' service and the other represents the 'lmgrd' process created by the service.

If lmgrd is not installed as a service, only 1 lmgrd process will be observed in the Task Manager on Windows.
