File menu - Exit Copernic Desktop Search

Modified on Thu, 24 Aug, 2023 at 9:21 AM

You can completely Exit Copernic. However, please note that when Desktop Search is not running, real-time indexing and scheduled index updates will not start.


In order to keep a fresh updated index, instead of completely exiting CDS, simply reduce your Window in the tray (with the X in the upper right corner). It will remain running in the background to perform index update.


To completely exit within the software:

  1. In the File menu
  2. Select Exit


To completely exit from the tray icon:

  1. Right click on the tray icon 
  2. Select Exit/Close Window


To reduce Window only (and keep Copernic running in background):

  1. Click on the X in the upper right corner of the main screen
