How to Fully Quit Vauz
Closing the Vauz window is not always the same as quitting Vauz. On macOS in particular, the app keeps running after its window is closed, so a support step that asks you to "fully quit and reopen" will not have any effect if you only closed the window
Fast Tip:
- macOS: press
⌘+Q, or useVauz>Quit Vauzin the menu bar - Windows and Linux: close the Vauz window
- Not responding? Use force quit
Why closing the window is not always enough
Quit Vauz
If Vauz won't respond
Use these steps only when Vauz has stopped responding and will not close normally
Force quitting closes the app immediately without letting it finish what it was doing. If Vauz was in the middle of saving, avoid force quitting unless you have no other option
Check that nothing is still running
If you were asked to fully quit Vauz for troubleshooting, it is worth confirming nothing is left over
If you use the Vauz Autofill browser extension, you may also see a separate autofill helper process. Your browser starts it when the extension needs it, and it can start again on its own the next time you use the extension. If it is causing trouble, see Vauz extension stuck at 'Loading credentials' popup
That's it
Vauz is fully quit. Open it again the way you normally do, and you will be asked for your V-Key if you have one set up
Quitting Vauz does not delete anything and does not sign you out of anything. Your saved entries are exactly as they were
Still cannot quit Vauz?
Please contact Vauz support and include:
