SUMMARY
digikam stays as a background process after closing window or quitting through menu. This happens each time I start and close digikam. 
For example I can start digicam, work with it, then close. Application persists as a background process. The next time I start and quit digikam creates another background process. 

If I make 10 digikam sessions until reboot there will be 10 background processes. Each of them uses about 500-600 Mb of RAM.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start digikam
2. Do anything in application
3. Quit via menu or close the window

OBSERVED RESULT
Several background processes in task manager.

EXPECTED RESULT
No background processes in task manager.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: Windows 10 Version 22H2
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.12.0
Qt Version: 6.8.3
