BCU wants to close just about every running background program when uninstalling #669

I've used BCU for years and when it gets to the "kill tasks" part, it always only wants you to close out of relevant programs. After updating to 5.8.2 from I have no idea what version I was on before, it now wants me to kill just about every program under the sun when uninstalling things that are completely unrelated to it. I wanted to uninstall a file compare tool that I only wanted to use once and didn't need anymore (which I've used and uninstalled with BCU before in the past), and it wants to kill literally every single program I have running, whether it be firefox, to everything (the search program), to Nvidia background stuff, to Discord, MSI afterburner, Steam, windows explorer, down to my damn UPS software, pretty much just open task manager and anything in there that isn't imperative to windows usage, it's in the "kill" list.

I'm not sure if this is intentional, but I find it really odd that it does that now when it didn't before so I can only assume it's an unintentional bug.

Does this occur when trying to uninstall any program or just something specific? For me, I could uninstall a lot of stuff without issues but this issue happens when trying to uninstall Five Finger Typist demo though that might be because it doesn't seem to come with an uninstaller.

Just went to uninstall another program and it didn't have the same issue so it's probably a per-app issue.

The other apps I had issues with did have uninstallers, they went through the popups asking me if I want to uninstall and everything, so I'm not sure if that's the issue.
