Solution
This behavior can be seen when the application allows for multiple instances to run simultaneously. To solve this, consider the following scenarios:
Multiple instances of the application are not needed
Opening multiple instances of a LabVIEW executable is not the default behavior, so it is likely it was intentionally enabled for the problematic application. If this is not a requirement make sure to disable the multiple instances parameter of the executable, by setting a
False value in the
allowmultipleinstances property. You can refer to the article
Run Multiple Instances of a LabVIEW Executable Simultaneously, for details on how to modify this property.
Multiple instances of the application is the desired behavior
Make sure to enable the
Pass all command line arguments to application option in the
Advanced tab of the build specification. This will prevent the application to open endless instances, it will just open one instance per file you open.
