killing process using powershell for windows

Now we will talk about windows.I have been using powershell, an equivalent of konsole in windows to automated some task. Here I will list a few commands that can be used to kill a process using powershell so you don’t have to open a task manager to do that (almost every windows user use task manager to kill a process).

first off you have to open a powershell. and then type this command to know which process you are running.

PS C:\Users\jacobian> get-process

and then it will list all the process that’s been running like the screenshot below.

and now to kill a process you just have to look up for the process ID and kill it using the following command

PS C:\Users\jacobian> stop-process 4172

process ID 4172 belongs to a process named Winamp, and I kill it using the above command.

I think powershell really improve my experience using windows as an operating system. Just wait for another tutorial about powershell then. thanks for reading.
