Then, Right-Click on the Desktop Screen and select New > Shortcut. Step 1: Go to Desktop by pressing Win + D keys together. Method 4: Terminate any Application using Desktop Shortcut To forcefully end the process Notepad.exe if it was started by the system, type: taskkill /f /fi 'USERNAME eq NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM' /im notepad. This will close all the applications whose PIDs are mentioned in the TASKKILL command. Note:- You need to check for PID for any application in Command prompt every time you try to run the above command because PID changes when you try to relaunch it. Where 1048, 1592, 1040 are PID of other applications and /F is to forcefully terminate the application. If you need to close many applications, then Type TASKKILL /PID 23316 1048 1592 1040 /F To close an application, we are going to use TASKKILL command here.Īs an example, we are trying to close Calculator application (PID = 23316). To see all the running applications, execute the following command. Then, Right Click on the Command Prompt application and select Run as administrator. Press Win key on your keyboard and type cmd. To kill Windows explorer, the following command would work C:>taskkill /F /IM explorer.exe SUCCESS: The process 'explorer.exe' with PID 2432 has been terminated. Step 1: Open Command Prompt application as administrator If not used, in the above case it will prompt the user if the opened pages in tabs need to be saved. This is the first and easiest method to end any task which is not responding. To close the application, in case task manager does not respond / work, then there is a keyboard shortcut.įirstly, Select the application by clicking on the application’s window and Press ALT + F4 keys together till the application gets closed. This will close the application successfully if it was nonresponsive.
