Request+ is a tray application. Clicking the X on the window only hides the app — it keeps running in the background so chat stays connected and the overlay keeps updating.
If you connected or reconnected a chat platform in the dashboard, the desktop client won’t pick it up until you fully quit and reopen it. Closing the window is not enough.

​
When you need to restart

Fully restart Request+ after any of these:
  • Connecting a new chat platform (Twitch / Kick / YouTube)
  • Disconnecting or reconnecting a chat platform
  • Applying an app update

​
Quit from the system tray

1

Open the tray

Click the ^ arrow in the bottom-right of the taskbar to show hidden icons.
2

Find the Request+ icon

Look for the Request+ logo in the tray.
3

Right-click → Quit

Right-click the icon and choose Quit (or Exit). The process fully terminates.
4

Reopen Request+

Launch Request+ from the Start menu or desktop shortcut. Chat and music connections re-initialize on startup.
If the tray icon is unresponsive, open Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc), find Request+ under Processes, and click End task.

​
Why does it run in the tray?

Keeping Request+ in the tray means:
  • Chat stays connected even when you minimize the window.
  • The overlay keeps updating in OBS / Streamlabs.
  • You can hide the window during your stream without dropping requests.
If you’d rather close fully when clicking X, change the setting under Settings → General → Close button behavior.
