An information processing device includes a memory, and a processor configured to perform a first process configured to generate control data used in communication and storing the generated control data in a locked state in the memory while performing start processing of the first process, release the locked state of the control data in response to completion of the start processing or suspension of the start processing, and communicate with a communication device in response to a communication request, and perform a second process configured to determine, based on the control data, whether connection with the first process is established, when it is determined that the connection with the first process is not established, select processing for connecting with the first process in accordance with whether the control data in the memory is locked, and transmit the communication request to the first process while connecting with the first process.
