Made a simple console application. In the properties of the project, I changed the type of the application to the Windows application - this way the application is opened hidden.

However, when you start the application, the mouse cursor in Windows changes to busy :

Cursor

There is nothing special about the Main method. In the DoWork method, methods for cleaning unnecessary files work.

static void Main() { var processes = Process.GetProcessesByName("mpCleaner"); if (processes.Length > 1) Environment.Exit(0); DoWork(); } private static void DoWork() { try { Thread.Sleep(5000); RemoveOldFunctions(); RemoveUnsupportedAutocadFunctions(); RemoveDllsFromTopDirectory(); RemovePendingOverwriteFiles(); RemoveOldDlls(); RemoveAutocadFunctionsIfHasItInSubdirectory(); } catch { // } finally { Environment.Exit(0); } }

Is it possible to remove the cursor change? There is no need to offer a service

    Do PeekMessage and GetMessage that the Windows could see that the process "hears" it, otherwise it thinks that it hung (this is the main core of ProcessMessages). UDP Oh, yes on c # this is most likely at stackoverflow.com/questions/34613362/… - nick_n_a
  • @nick_n_a, it says there that the equivalent on .NET is Application.DoEvents (). But I have already tried it - it does not help - Alexander Pekshev

I checked - it seems to work, the wheel goes almost immediately.

 using System.Threading; using System.Windows.Forms; public class Demo { static void Main() { bool Working = true; new Thread(() => { Thread.Sleep(20000); // Вписать код вашей програмы Working = false; }).Start(); while (Working) { Application.DoEvents(); Thread.Sleep(500); } } }

PS There is not enough try-catch.

It is necessary that the call to PeekMessage (without waiting) and GetMessage (with message cleaning) occur regularly, at least once a second, in order for the Windows to see that the process is “heard”, otherwise it considers that the GUI has hung (this is the main core of ProcessMessages in c # is the equivalent of Application.DoEvents(). ). And, yes, if your application is not a console, then .... it is a GUI. (Console, GUI, Service, Driver options - I think everything listed).

  • Yes, it became so much better. However, the "hang" icon still appears when the application is launched. Only now for one second. Apparently this can not be avoided - Alexander Pekshev
  • There is also a prikolol c # from "microsoft" - the time between the launch of exe, and the transfer of control from Мain can be from 1 to 10-20 seconds. (I used to think that it starts right away). I have the 1st launch - about 10 seconds, the “watch” hangs, and then, the 2.3rd launch starts - 1-2 seconds each. If to rewrite on with ++ - it will be faster;) - nick_n_a
