killing hard to kill processes

[hedron]

Every now and again Virtual Grand Piano refuses to close and locks up. But I can't force kill it in task manager. There's some cli program that does a similar job, but it doesn't work either.

I'm wondering if anyone knows any magic that can force kill a stubborn process?

If you want CLI, you can use PSKILL. If you want a gui, then Process Explorer will do it.

I've had some processes that I couldn't kill with either of these and it took a restart to get rid of them. I use these tools daily and swear by them. Well worth adding to your toolkit.

Screw all of that press WIN KEY + R type taskkill /im ABC* /f and that will kill all processes that have ABC and * anything after the C.

so taskkill /im process* /f forces all processes with word process in it.
