I'm trying to update SQL Server 2016 to CU7.
During the Files in Use check, I'm prompted to stop fdhost.exe
for each running instance in order to prevent the need for a reboot.
But how to stop this process? I've stopped the Full-text Filter service and fdhost.exe
is still running. When I kill it in Task Manager (or by using taskkill
) it comes right back with a new PID and the service restarts itself.
