On windows, the symfony server does not terminate after a first server:stop.

Here is a standard sequence that is problematic on windows and that works correctly on Linux

[red-smeg]

I am getting the same problem on windows 11 running multiple server instances in powershell one per tab

[Dwza]

Same issue under windwos 10

Same problem. HAve always to delete pid file in .symfony/cache folder.
Before I guess it deleted the file automatically when was shutting down

[Dwza]

I guess if you close all programms that could have a handle on the server (eg console or ide with a terminal or so) than it seems like the handler on the server gets lost and it shuts down... at least it happend twice to me but it doesnt seem presistent :D
