# Won't close, or the old version opens

> The close button hides the window to the tray and music keeps playing. Quit from the tray

<Steps>
  <Step title="Quit the app completely">
    <Tabs>
      <Tab title="Windows" icon="windows">
        1. Click **^** next to the clock.
        2. Right-click the SoundCloud Desktop icon.
        3. Choose **Quit**.

        The menu is in English whatever the app language is. Still running: **Task Manager** (Ctrl+Shift+Esc) -> `soundcloud-desktop.exe` (portable: `soundcloud-desktop-portable.exe`) -> **End task**.
      </Tab>

      <Tab title="macOS" icon="apple">
        Press **Cmd+Q**. No window: menu bar icon -> **Quit**.
      </Tab>

      <Tab title="Linux" icon="linux">
        Open the tray icon menu -> **Quit**. No icon: close the window, the app exits.
      </Tab>
    </Tabs>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start the app again">
    The version that opened is shown in **Settings -> General -> Updates**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Info>
  The tray menu is always in English: **Show**, **Mini player**, **Play / Pause**, **Previous**, **Next**, **Quit**.
</Info>

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="I installed the new version but the old one opens" defaultOpen>
    The old copy is still running in the tray, and the app does not start a second one: it just shows the old window. Use **Quit** (steps above), then start the app again.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="I want the close button to quit the app">
    Choose **Settings -> General -> Close button -> Quit the app**. Closing the window then stops the music and exits the app.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Linux: there is no tray icon" id="linux-tray">
    Then closing the window quits the app. The icon appears if your desktop supports tray icons (StatusNotifier). On GNOME, install the AppIndicator extension and start the app again.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How to open the mini player">
    In the tray icon menu choose **Mini player**. On Windows and macOS you can also left-click the icon.
  </Accordion>
