Running 7.6.3 (b2013090513), 32 bit, Java 1.7.0\_25, Windows 7 When I attempt to restart the gateway by pressing “Restart” in the gateway, the gateway stops but does not restart. The same bug was present in the betas, but not in 7.6.2. I have seen the same behavior with 64 bit Windows version. ---

So if you start the gateway manually after a failed restart, does the gateway reach running status? Also, maybe take a look at logs/wrapper.log after pressing the restart button in the GCU. Does the log file update for a bit during restart and then just stop updating? ---

After reboot (this is my first since upgrading yesterday), I am unable to replicate the error. Solved, I guess.
