"A newer version of uTorrent is already running. Please shut down uTorrent and try again"
After shutting down uTorrent and opening it again, the same message is displayed.
The Fix:
The issue appears to be related to uTorrent getting confused about which version it has installed, and wants to run.
Make sure uTorrent has been closed (you may need to kill the task from Task Manager)
Go to the uTorrent installation directory (usually %appdata%\uTorrent or C:\users\%username%\appdata\roaming\uTorrent) and delete the Updates folder (and everything within it). If you get an error advising the files are locked/cannot be opened, you will either need to kill the stuck uTorrent process from Task Manager, or simply restart your computer.
Try starting uTorrent again after removing the Updates folder - it should now open correctly
That helps, thanks. ;)

ReplyDeleteI Must say, that Torrent is one of the most famous and used places on the web. The way they provide Free Data, and the popularity and Respect they have earned in these years, is really unbelievable. Officially they are illegal. but they are kind of Robin Hood type. Who takes paid things from the providers and make them available to the public for Free.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Peter. This worked perfectly.
