My python program was based on PyQt5 and Pytesseract mainly. I converted the program into exe using Pyinstaller. When I start the exe, I can see multiple instances of the exe getting started in the background. Not sure why this happens. I would appreciate any guidance on this.

Regards,

Selva Prakash.

Does it use multiprocessing at all? Can you confirm that only one process appears if you run your code in regular Python?

Hi, Sorry for the delay.

There is no multiprocessing involved. If I run it in command prompt or vscode, only one process is running.
