NX Programs / Executables (e.g. translator) do not close after finishing successful on Windows 2012R2 Server / hanging translator

It is observed, that NX programs in the command line or in batch modus do their work, but do not finish at all.

For a start in a NX Command Prompt it looks like the translation is hanging, not returning back to command line:

This can also be the same for background processes like TC dispatcher. Possible this can seen with ugtopv, ugtopv.exe, step214ug.exe etc, but also other executable. 

Solution

From https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/83440:

This is because OpenGL dll is not unloaded on application exit (83440).

To solve this:

Update to VMware Tools release 11.2.6 and later
OR
On Windows Update as an optional driver update, listed as "VMware, Inc. - Display - 8.17.2.14"


To install the driver, go to Settings > Update & Security > View Optional Updates > Driver Updates.

Workaround:
Disable the use of llvmpipe by adding this virtual machine config option to the VM's VMX file: guestinfo.svga.disableLLVMPipe=TRUE
or
Set a system environment variable SVGA_ALLOW_LLVMPIPE=0

This solution comes from a vendor, so please contact VM Ware for further details.
