I noticed that when you exit android studio and look in taskmgr, you will see that the studio64.exe process is complete and java.exe is still working (maybe it does nothing with 0% CPU usage) and consumes about 400 MB RAM
So, when you start android studio again, it starts another java.exe, and if you close android studio, the second java.exe file remains in memory along with the first, consuming memory, but not loading the CPU. If you repeat the steps, it will just add another java.exe
Question: Is it safe to interrupt old java.exe processes?
EDIT
it looks like Google fixed this strange behavior / bug.
