Odd behaviour from Node.exe

[AlexFielder]

Hi All,

I've noticed some recent significant performance hits on my system, which is surprising considering it's an HP Z240 with an Intel Core i7 6700 and 16GB memory.

So I started looking into this and noticed the following:

Further investigation of the desktop-connect path yields an 11MB log file with ~200,000 lines of logging that started around June 6th along the lines of this:

I've checked my system and ForceEffect isn't installed.

Actually, I may have just cracked it; I installed Inventor 2016 on the date the logging started and it has added the ForceEffect functions to my system.

Was that included in one of the service packs for 2016; it's been a long time since I had to use it so pardon my ignorance.

How do I turn this off, short of deleting the offending folders?

Thanks,

Alex.

Hello @AlexFielder,

Please try to locate the folder in C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Inventor 2016\addin, you can delete the ForceEffects in that folder. Let us know if this resolved the issue.

Hi @natasha.l,

I removed the ForceEffect files but I notice that node server.js is still writing to the log file:

It's doing so less frequently today, but then I've only been logged on around 30 minutes.

Thoughts?
