We often use task manager to kill apps which are not responding well or somehow not letting our system work properly.
Note : To open task manager you can use Ctrl + Shift + Esc Keys together.
But Sometimes when this doesn't work or you love to use command prompt a lot, you can use command prompt to kill processes.Here's how :
1. Open command prompt(Obviously :P ). (Window + R keys, type cmd and press enter)
2. Type the command tasklist , and you will see a list of processes that are currently running along with their process id and the bytes of memory they are using.
Note: A PID (i.e., process identification number) is an identification number that is automatically assigned to each process when it is created on an operating system. A process is an executing (i.e., running) instance of a program.
The command will list all the process running on the system, however for the sake of brevity I have not shown all the processes in the image.
3. Find out the process you want to kill and remember it Process Id. Its must.
4. Use the command taskkill/pid "Enter you Process Id" (Without quotes). Here you have to enter the process id of the process you want to kill.
Its Done !!!
