“C:\Program Files\Sublime Text\sublime_text.exe” “–post_update”

childproc
Invoked: c:$recycle.bin\s-1-5-xx-xxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx$rs7vixz\ (update)\plugin_host-3.3.exe (0462f464b32136599195f55f0d5c6695d594c3f9ad7531ccaa10de9b491ce3a7)

When ST is run with --post_update, as happens after an update has finished installing, the update installer is deleted. Not sure what you’re seeing with the recycle bin there.

that happens a lot from our end points

could you have your backend team to investigate?

We don’t have a “backend team”, there’s 2 people working on Sublime Text and I’m one of them. Can you clarify exactly what is happening?

we notice it is the part of the upgrade but some how the parent process was triggering the plugin from recycle bin which is not what we normally observed.

do you know if there is any proper channel i can escalate this?

There is no escalation to be done. We’re not a conglomerate with technical support teams.

To clarify, you’re observing ST launching the plugin host processes from the executables that got moved to the recycle bin after an update? Does this still happen if you restart ST? Are the regular plugin host processes also launched? Which version of ST are you running? Which version of Windows?
