Vegas Pro Remaining in Task Manager After Closing Vegas Pro

Vegas Pro 17 is remaining in Task Manager after closing Vegas Pro 17, and keeps a "Very High" Power usage running! In fact, there is a NEW Vegas Pro 17 entry remaining there for EACH time I've opened and closed Vegas Pro 17! To test, I've just opened and closed Vegas Pro 17 four times. There is now 4 instances of Vegas Pro in my Processes window, each showing "Very High Power Usage" with over over 20,000 MB of Memory being used by all four!!! (combined).

Has anyone experience this issue with Vegas Pro? How do we STOP it!!?? (shutting them down in Task Manager should not be the correct answer, though obvious emergency solution)
