Windows analog of kill process with PID
On Windows, the equivalent command to "kill a process by its PID" is done using the taskkill
command in the Command Prompt or PowerShell. Here's how you can do it:
Using Command Prompt:
Open the Command Prompt as an administrator.
To kill a process with a specific PID, use the following command:
phptaskkill /PID <PID>
Replace
<PID>
with the actual Process ID (PID) of the process you want to terminate.If the process is successfully terminated, you will see a message indicating that the process was terminated.
Using PowerShell:
Open PowerShell as an administrator.
To kill a process with a specific PID, use the following command:
arduinoStop-Process -Id <PID>
Replace
<PID>
with the actual Process ID (PID) of the process you want to terminate.If the process is successfully terminated, PowerShell will not output anything.
Remember that terminating a process forcefully may cause data loss or system instability, so use these commands with caution. Ensure that you are terminating the correct process, especially if multiple processes have the same name. Always confirm the PID before using taskkill
or Stop-Process
.
