I’ll look into this problem Raymond.

Although they are not likely to be related, please don’t use Node.js v9. Version 9 doesn’t have LTS. v8 is the latest version with LTS.

I am using nvm on windows and I change my nodejs from v9.10.1 to v8.11.1, unfortunately, it does not work.

I look into the source code, I found the function getIPCFilePath return path.join(‘\\?\pipe’, process.cwd(), defaultIPCFileName) if the platform is windows. The result path become ‘’\\?\pipe\C:\Users\chinra\edgemicro.pid’. Why join ‘\\?\pipe’ in the path prefix?

  getIPCFilePath: function getIPCFilePath() {
    if (!isWin) {
      return path.join(process.cwd(), defaultIPCFileName + '.sock');
    } else {
      return path.join('\\\\?\\pipe', process.cwd(), defaultIPCFileName);
    }
  },
  getPIDFilePath: function getPIDFilePath() {
    return path.join(process.cwd(), defaultIPCFileName + '.pid');
  },

Please try now. 2.5.16 (with the fix for Windows) was just published.

Thanks, @srinandans, it is work now.
