(that is kill all sh.exe instances) but after your post decided to recheck
task manager and found a cat.exe still running (orphaned is the correct
term I guess)
after killing it I was able to mount the directory from the terminal and it

process anew without
initialization.Asking out of curiosity, is that the case?
