How to close/end processes via command line

Im just dont get it. Why you would want to use command line to kill task?

Maybe to free up resources before running a resource intensive app or game? Makes sense to use a batch to kill all the processes you don't need then start the app, much easier than opening task manager & ending them one by one ;)

Ain't there a way to use Taskkill "process name" or file.exe? :/

Ahhhhhhhhh I just remotely shutdown explorer on another guy's computer :D

THANKS :D

LMAO!!! YES! I used to do that to my friend a lot in different ways. Like create a batch file that does it and then put it on one of my friends desktops labeled as something else (one of my dumber friends). The guy I was doing it to didn't like it very much and now threatens my balls so I find others.

    • Detective game 'The Operator' is free to claim on the Epic Games Store this week by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The Epic Games Store's weekly giveaways promotion has just refreshed. Last week's offer of Two Point Hospital has now gone away, and to take its place, the store has brought in The Operator, a detective puzzle game developed by Bureau 81. As always, you have seven days to add the latest game permanently to your Epic Games Store library. Released in 2024, The Operator comes touting an investigation story that puts you into the shoes of a new hire at the Federal Department of Intelligence (FDI), where you are tasked with analyzing evidence, fact-checking, and solving a streak of mysterious crimes using the agency's advanced investigative software. Everything from murders and missing people to cyberattacks are the sort of crimes you'll be investigating throughout the game, all using the agency's unique software console to dig through evidence and personal data. As the story progresses, a conspiracy also comes through from another hacker that paints the FDI in a different light. Here's how the studio teases the hacker's existence even in the game description: The Operator giveaway on the Epic Games Store is now active, and it will last until June 26. When it's not on sale, the game costs $13.99 to purchase, but PC gamers can add it to their library for no cost during the seven-day timeframe. Another PC game will come in as the next freebie on the same day that this entry expires.
    • In Steam, you don't have to bring performance info with some kb combo, it is always there, displayed. A problem with MS design is needs to do a KB combo...that's the problem. XBOX app is a bloatware garbage I remove right away...helps with memory latency.
    • Mangohud has also been doing this since the dawn of time. However, when was the last time the XBOX game bar showed frames from frame generation? Oh, yes. Never.
