Everytime I run the preview to view a page, multilple instance of CefSharp run and cause X5 to freeze up for anything from 1 - 10 minutes before becoming usable again. There could be up to 40 instances running at once, any suggestions on how to resolve this ?
Thanks.

Hello Neil,
although it is normal for there to be multiple instances of CefSharp visible in the Task Manager, usually the amount is lower.
If you check the Task Manager as soon as you open the program, do you immediately see these processes displayed (or when you open the project), or do they appear only when running the preview?
Thank you.
Hi, if I check Task Manager before opening a preview there might be 6-8 instances of CefSharp running but as soon as I open a preview that number starts to increase. In some cases the preview window can just be closed again as normal but other times it 'sticks' open and can't be closed again until after the program unfreeze itself again.
I've tried killing some of the CefSharp processes but that just results in more instances opening and I just have to wait it out.
Hello Neil,
if you have multiple projects you are working on, does this occur with all of them or only a specific one?
I remain available.
I do have another project I haven't need to work on in a while but I'll open it this evening and check.
