Hi, I have this build [https://travis-ci.org/etr/libhttpserver/jobs/579986139](https://travis-ci.org/etr/libhttpserver/jobs/579986139) succeeding on Windows (with the shell reporting it as “done” but then not completing the build and failing it. I saw similar threads (e.g. [Build timeout but actually succeeded](https://travis-ci.community/t/build-timeout-but-actually-succeeded/2763/3) ) that seem to be referring to the use of Yarn as being a problem. In my case, I am not using Yarn (and just to be sure I am passing the parameter that was supposed to fix but to no avail). Any way someone has fixed it? ---

Any background process that’s still running would cause that. Need to see the diff with a previous process snapshot to pinpoint the culprit, but your process list and earlier commands suggest `bash` background jobs. ---

I’ve found a bunch of new processes that are there at the end but not at the beginning: 392 0 0 392 ? 0 22:21:35 C:\Windows\System32\svchost.exe 708 4352 4296 2876 ? 197608 22:32:55 /usr/bin/ps 708 4352 4296 2876 ? 197608 22:32:55 /usr/bin/ps 768 0 0 768 ? 0 22:23:33 C:\Windows\System32\wbem\WmiPrvSE.exe 1160 0 0 1160 ? 0 22:21:43 C:\Windows\System32\svchost.exe 1608 0 0 1608 ? 0 22:24:57 C:\Program Files\Google\Compute Engine\vss\GoogleVssAgent.exe 1900 0 0 1900 ? 0 22:22:30 C:\Windows\System32\svchost.exe 1936 0 0 1936 ? 0 22:24:44 C:\Program Files\Google\Compute Engine\agent\GCEWindowsAgent.exe 2544 4352 4296 2544 ? 197608 22:32:55 /usr/bin/bash 3556 0 0 3556 ? 0 22:25:50 C:\tools\msys64\usr\lib\gnupg\scdaemon.exe 4360 0 0 4360 ? 0 22:24:59 C:\Windows\System32\dllhost.exe 4700 0 0 4700 ? 0 22:29:36 C:\Program Files\Windows Defender\MpCmdRun.exe 4928 0 0 4928 ? 0 22:25:50 C:\tools\msys64\usr\bin\gpg-agent.exe From the other threads, I suspect it is the gpg-agent but I am not sure of how this should be terminated in this context not to get the VM complain about it. Are you saying we should just kill it? ---

That didn’t work but the below did. ``` if ["$TRAVIS_OS_NAME" = "windows"]; then taskkill //F //PID $(ps -Wla | tr -s ' ' | grep gpg | cut -f2 -d' ') ; fi ``` A bit violent but works. Thanks a lot for all the help. Your first answer was correct.
