[X] Successfully reproduced against the latest version of NW.js?
Current/Missing Behavior
I tried updating my project's nwjs version to the latest one(v0.90) and there's always a red square icon on the tray. My project has a png icon defined, and the .exe file has the icon altered via resource hacker, so that is extra strange. On top of that, it seems that sometimes closing the project window won't properly close it(nwjs will still run in the background, not allowing me to open my project again), until I either right click that red icon -> close or force close through the task bar.
I'm not entirely sure but I think a few previous versions do it too. Last one I tested that DIDN'T have it was v0.87
Expected/Proposed Behavior
None of the above should happen
Additional Info
- Operating System: Windows 10 Pro
- NW.js Version: v0.90
- Repro Link: open any project
- Crash report: none

is it the come back of ghost process ? https://github.com/nwjs/nw.js/issues/7633#issuecomment-749297180 https://github.com/nwjs/nw.js/issues/7852
this is also here in v0.89.0 its random.. there sometimes, and after restart. its gone.
make a shortcut with bat for kill all node and nw process.
Also take the opportunity to clean the OS process
When the red block shows up, does it always happen that nw processes are not freed in Task Manager after closing? Or have there been instances where you are able to close NW.js while the red block is present? Trying to see if this is related to #7852

I test the v0.87.0 is OK. Is it possible that the latest version has any features?
it might be related to the slow migration to nw2/removal of nw1
Also the issue doesn't always happen, but at random. Specially when the application stops responding and gets force closed
