Just had the same problem trying to quit a plate solve after the mount failed and ended up pointing the scope in a rather different part of the sky (the mount didn’t fail but rather it couldn’t drawn enough juice from my battery). I couldn’t get plate solving to quit in SGP at all so restarted Windows. I assumed it was because I was running it all in Virtualbox on my Mac but perhaps not? As a Mac person ignorant of Windows (aside from Astro apps) is there a force quit command that can work? I ended up restarting everything at least twice - mount, PHD, etc. it doesn’t take too long but then it is annoying that this one process can’t just end when you want it to.
