After game exit, the process “javaw.exe” still running in background (at least 10 minutes until I making this report), so the launcher always emit a warning if trying to restart the game.
Entering a world is required to reproduce. If start the game then exit without entering any world, the process will exit normally.
When forcely terminate the process, it outputs a crash report. Both game log and crash report are provided.
PS: Both Graphics API (Vulkan, OpenGL) can observe this.
Environment
Windows 11 (10.0.26220.8148); Minecraft Launcher (b.3.30.43-2.5.2); Java Runtime Environment (javaw, 25.0.1.0)
