Killing stubborn Processes or Services in Windows 10

You always could kill some applications and services by
using task manager and clicking on end task but that does not always work. 

Tasklist is a command that displays a list of applications
and services with their Process ID (PID) for all tasks running on either a
local or a remote computer.
Syntax
tasklist[.exe] [/s computer]
[/u domainuser [/p password]] [/fo
{TABLE|LIST|CSV}] [/nh] [/fi FilterName
[/fi FilterName2 [ … ]]] [/m
[ModuleName] | /svc | /v

Parameters

/s   Computer
 
: Specifies the name or IP address of a remote
computer (do not use backslashes). The default is the local computer.

/u   Domain
User   : Runs the
command with the account permissions of the user specified by User or DomainUser.
The default is the permissions of the current logged on user on the computer
issuing the command.

/p   Password
 
: Specifies the password of the user account
that is specified in the /u parameter.

/fo { TABLE |
LIST | CSV } : Specifies
the format to use for the output. Valid values are TABLE, LIST,
and CSV. The default format for output is TABLE.

/nh   : Suppresses
column headers in the output. Valid when the /fo parameter is
set to TABLE or CSV.

/fi   FilterName

in or exclude from the query. The following table lists valid filter names,
operators, and values.

Examples

The following examples show how you can use the tasklist
command:

tasklist /v /fi “PID gt 1000” /fo csv
tasklist /fi “USERNAME ne NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM” /fi
“STATUS eq running”

tasklist /v /fi “STATUS eq running”
tasklist /s srvmain /nh
tasklist /s srvmain /s srvny
tasklist /s srvmain /u maindomhiropln /p p@ssW23 /nh

 

When we have information about a process or service that we
like to kill no we can use an command in Windows 10 TASKKILL

 

Taskkill Ends one or more tasks or processes. Processes can
be killed by process ID or image name.

Syntax

taskkill [/s Computer] [/u DomainUser
[/p Password]]] [/fi FilterName] [/pid ProcessID]|[/im ImageName]
[/f][/t]

Parameters

/s
  Computer   : Specifies the name or IP
address of a remote computer (do not use backslashes). The default is the local
