使用信号量而不是互斥锁的原因:

Mutex类强制线程标识，因此只有获得互斥锁的线程才能释放它。相反，Semaphore类并不强制执行线程标识。 < < System.Threading.Mutex

如果另一个实例已经在运行，则此示例将在5秒后退出。

// unique id for global mutex - Global prefix means it is global to the machine
const string mutex_id = "Global\\{B1E7934A-F688-417f-8FCB-65C3985E9E27}";

static void Main(string[] args)
{

    using (var mutex = new Mutex(false, mutex_id))
    {
        try
        {
            try
            {
                if (!mutex.WaitOne(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(5), false))
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("Another instance of this program is running");
                    Environment.Exit(0);
                }
            }
            catch (AbandonedMutexException)
            {
                // Log the fact the mutex was abandoned in another process, it will still get aquired
            }

            // Perform your work here.
        }
        finally
        {
            mutex.ReleaseMutex();
        }
    }
}

一个没有WaitOne的解决方案，因为它会导致一个AbandonedMutexException。 这个解决方案使用互斥量构造函数返回createdNew布尔值来检查互斥量是否已经创建。它还使用GetType()。GUID，因此重命名一个可执行文件不允许多个实例。

全局互斥与局部互斥参见: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.threading.mutex?view=netframework-4.8

private Mutex mutex;
private bool mutexCreated;

public App()
{
    string mutexId = $"Global\\{GetType().GUID}";
    mutex = new Mutex(true, mutexId, out mutexCreated);
}

protected override void OnStartup(StartupEventArgs e)
{
    base.OnStartup(e);
    if (!mutexCreated)
    {
        MessageBox.Show("Already started!");
        Shutdown();
    }
}

因为互斥锁实现了IDisposable，所以它被自动释放，但是为了完整性，调用dispose:

protected override void OnExit(ExitEventArgs e)
{
    base.OnExit(e);
    mutex.Dispose();
}

将所有内容移动到基类中，并从接受的答案中添加allowEveryoneRule。还添加了ReleaseMutex，虽然它看起来不像真的需要，因为它是由操作系统自动释放的(如果应用程序崩溃了，你需要重新启动ReleaseMutex吗?)

public class SingleApplication : Application
{
    private Mutex mutex;
    private bool mutexCreated;

    public SingleApplication()
    {
        string mutexId = $"Global\\{GetType().GUID}";

        MutexAccessRule allowEveryoneRule = new MutexAccessRule(
            new SecurityIdentifier(WellKnownSidType.WorldSid, null),
            MutexRights.FullControl, 
            AccessControlType.Allow);
        MutexSecurity securitySettings = new MutexSecurity();
        securitySettings.AddAccessRule(allowEveryoneRule);

        // initiallyOwned: true == false + mutex.WaitOne()
        mutex = new Mutex(initiallyOwned: true, mutexId, out mutexCreated, securitySettings);        
    }

    protected override void OnExit(ExitEventArgs e)
    {
        base.OnExit(e);
        if (mutexCreated)
        {
            try
            {
                mutex.ReleaseMutex();
            }
            catch (ApplicationException ex)
            {
                MessageBox.Show(ex.Message, ex.GetType().FullName, MessageBoxButton.OK, MessageBoxImage.Error);
            }
        }
        mutex.Dispose();
    }

    protected override void OnStartup(StartupEventArgs e)
    {
        base.OnStartup(e);
        if (!mutexCreated)
        {
            MessageBox.Show("Already started!");
            Shutdown();
        }
    }
}

一个全局互斥锁不仅仅是为了确保一个应用程序只有一个实例。我个人更喜欢用微软。创建一个单实例WPF应用程序的正确方法是什么?(Dale Ragan回答)……我发现，将新应用程序启动时接收到的参数传递给初始的单实例应用程序更容易。

但是关于这个线程中之前的一些代码，我宁愿不每次我想对它有一个锁时都创建一个互斥锁。对于单实例应用程序来说，这可能没问题，但在其他用途中，我认为这有点过头了。

这就是为什么我建议这样实现:

用法:

static MutexGlobal _globalMutex = null;
static MutexGlobal GlobalMutexAccessEMTP
{
    get
    {
        if (_globalMutex == null)
        {
            _globalMutex = new MutexGlobal();
        }
        return _globalMutex;
    }
}

using (GlobalMutexAccessEMTP.GetAwaiter())
{
    ...
}

Sometimes learning by example helps the most. Run this console application in three different console windows. You'll see that the application you ran first acquires the mutex first, while the other two are waiting their turn. Then press enter in the first application, you'll see that application 2 now continues running by acquiring the mutex, however application 3 is waiting its turn. After you press enter in application 2 you'll see that application 3 continues. This illustrates the concept of a mutex protecting a section of code to be executed only by one thread (in this case a process) like writing to a file as an example.

using System;
using System.Threading;

namespace MutexExample
{
    class Program
    {
        static Mutex m = new Mutex(false, "myMutex");//create a new NAMED mutex, DO NOT OWN IT
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Waiting to acquire Mutex");
            m.WaitOne(); //ask to own the mutex, you'll be queued until it is released
            Console.WriteLine("Mutex acquired.\nPress enter to release Mutex");
            Console.ReadLine();
            m.ReleaseMutex();//release the mutex so other processes can use it
        }
    }
}
