UpdateFeedCache.vi Shows Resetting VI Window When Closing LabVIEW

Updated Jul 2, 2024

Issue Details

When I close LabVIEW, sometimes I see the following window:

Resetting VI:
GSW.lvlibp:
Feel_link.lvclass:
UpdateFeedCache.vi
or 
Resetting VI:
GettingStartedWindow.lvlib:
Feel_link.lvclass:
UpdateFeedCache.vi
How can I avoid this?

Solution

The Resetting VI windows usually comes up when LabVIEW has to wait for all processes to terminate before it shuts down. The UpdateFeedCache.vi is related to LabVIEW looking for online content updates in the Getting Started window. The number at the end seems to indicate how many clones of that VI are currently open. 
You will most often see this message when the computer is not connected to the internet, but LabVIEW is looking for online content.

To prevent LabVIEW from searching for online content updates in the Getting Started window, follow the steps outlined below.
  1. In LabVIEW, go to Tools»Options
  2. Select the Enviroment category and check Disable ni.com updates in Getting Started window
  3. Press OK

Additional Information

For LabVIEW 2020 and newer, the Getting Started window no longer looks for online content updates.
