Hi Mark,

Thank you for posting here.

Based on my knowledge, there should be only 1 store.exe at a time. I
noticed that the store processes you described in the post have different
Process IDs (PID), so I assume that Microsoft Exchange Information Store
service has been stopped and restarted (or server reboot).

If the service restarts or the server reboots, store.exe will have
different PIDs and you will see more than 1 store process in the
performance log.

Please go ahead to test:

1. Whether there're 2 different store.exe PIDs in Task Manager.
2. Whether you're able to reproduce this issue.

Please check whether there's any email access problems from the client
side. Also check whether there's any performance related issues.

I hope the above info helps.

If you have any questions or update, please feel free to let me know.
