qBittorrent & operating system versions

qB 5.1.2
QT 6.9.1
LibTorrent 1.2.20.0
OS W11 24H2 lastbuild + last patches

What is the problem?

Can't figure out why qB looses all trackers after i change my VPN network from one location to another, or disabling VPN and entering internet directly. Always "Not Working"!!!

Trackers are hook up again only after restarting qB!!!

Furthermore shuttingdown qB requires many many minutes. I need to kill the process!!!!!

Did tests with others clients (Deluge, Tixati), and this strange behaviour never happens...

Steps to reproduce

Open qB and download
Change VPN location or disconnect VPN
qB gets all trackes "Not Working"
Need to kill qB process
