Excel remains open as a background process

On Windows, if you run a report to Excel, then close Excel, it still runs as a background process. If you've run lots of reports to Excel, your machine will slow down as each Excel process uses up memory.

Excel does not remain running as a background process if it is opened manually, then closed.

Any idea why, when Excel is opened from Standard ERP, then closed, it does not fully close the process?
