I'd say it's something else that's blocking your program. System.Timers.Timer creates a thread in the threadpool, meaning its a background thread, meaning it shuts down when your main thread does.

I think it's in the requests you do in your timer_elapsed function, which runs on your main thread.

I immagine you tried already Stop() and Close(). If so, solution could be: during the closing of you applicaiton to make Sleep() for a couple of seconds main thread to let to timer's thread release resources allocated before.

There could be also a bug in application, which blocks timer's thread for some reason, but it's difficult to say to me, you should check it by yourself.

Hope this helps.

Regards.

You need to call Stop() when you sign out.
