Kill Tasks from Command Prompt

Kill Tasks or Processes from Command Prompt

1. Open Command Prompt via Start -> Run… and type cmd and hit Enter.
2. After Command prompt is opened, type “tasklist”
3. Check below the list of processes or task running on my Laptop. Each row has process name and PID number.

# Note down the PID number of the Process you want to kill. For ex: PID number : 716, Process Name : GoogleUpdate.exe
# To kill the process or task, Type “tskill” (without the quotes) then space and the PID number.For ex: c> tskill 718
# The above command will kill the Process with PID number 718
