Please provide the following information

qBittorrent version and Operating System

qBittorrent 4.1.7 (64 bits), Windows 10 PRO 64 bits.

If on linux, libtorrent-rasterbar and Qt version

Windows 10 PRO 64 bits

What is the problem

Here on my PC, when I am downloading or uploading too many torrents, I need to pause all torrents before closing qBittorrent, because if I don't pause torrents before closing qBittorrent, its process remains open in the background and I can't close it. .

What is the expected behavior

The qBittorrent process should close immediately (or within seconds) and not remains open in the background.

Steps to reproduce

Be uploading and/or downloading multiple torrents with many GB (or TB) per torrent and click "exit" via tray icon.

Extra info(if any)

When this problem occurs, the qBittorrent process remains open in the background for a long time, even if I try to close it several times.

CPU: Ryzen 3700X
