LV Application closes, no error, exe file is deleted

[Mentana-MTL]

I am running an LV 2014 application that logs data every 2 hours. 

This application shutdown randomly (or it seems), without generating an error.

On top of this, the actual .exe file of the application is deleted from computer's hard drive.

I can recompile the .exe file and the application will run without error until the next random shutdown.

Also, when I run the application non-compiled, there are no issues.

I am suspecting it has something to do with Windows updates, but I cannot disable those.

Has anyone encountered this issue?

I never heard that before. It sounds more like an anti-virus software putting the application into detention....

Please check that.

Check your Windows System logs for a clue.

Monitor your memory to see if it is climbing while the application is running.

Virus checking could be a culprit as well.

Then again, if you have a bogus path used in your built VI is could be stomping on itself.

Just throwing out reactions to your Q.

Thanks for the answers. I will look into the anti-virus idea.

What do you mean by "bogus path"? I'm not familiar with this concept.

In theory a VI could delete itself so if your could deletes a file and the path is defaulting to the path of your exe...
