I'd prefer a solution that does not require me to install anything new. It can kill process locally or remotely. PsKill is bundled with Sysinternals PsTools which is a collection of command line tools for Windows computers.
You should be able to re-open the application again. But be careful, killing processes this way may cause data loss with the application that was terminated such as if you were using a text editor or Microsoft Word. I've tried all these "process killers", and i'm still stuck with rebooting as my only solution to the problem. You are better off fixing the problem with FL Studio so it doesn't crash anymore.
Think about it…. I tried using pskill before finding this post. Would it happen to be a process you are not familiar with such as spyware or a virus? They are famous for restarting themselves after being killed. I have the same problem. I have a win terminal server not citrix , where one of the users have a process that just hangs cmd.
I won't be killed, and the user is unable to log off He can disconnect, but he reconnects to the same session each time he logs in. Hello, I have this problem to in windows XP, anyone have any solution?
It most be someway to kill process HARD in windows, like kill -9 in linux, pskill does not help. Ok people what is wrong here! So what the hell is going on? I wish people would date their submission on the net!
It would save a lot of us a lot of wasted time! People wake up!!! Ok fine! I had to dig around and found that I have to activate the PID column! You could have mentioned that! Don't assume we all have our PID columns activated! A lot of wasted time because people post partial info. Robyn, I have a feeling your computer skills are no better than your people skills which is why no one really wants to help you. Sorry bud, time to move on and help real people…. I think with Vista, nothing will kill a process because of Microsoft's nanny-state mentality.
If Microsofts oh-so-intelligent software doesn't think there is a problem, then there's no problem no matter how large the problem is in reality. So, if you need to kill firefox. It seems almost similar to the Vista internet problems where your browser suddenly can't surf the web any more but Microsoft sees nothing wrong because pings and tracerts still go through , therefore there can be nothing wrong.
Hi there, I found that there is 5 basic applications that may stop a process: 1. If someone would like to be guinea pig please fill free to try and tell if the rest of not mentioned above staff work properly.
I already have tried task manager, taskkill, and pskill but that sh.. As it's mentioned they informed everything ok but opera was working till restarted the vista. Fortunately no problem with hiding working opera window but annoying. Next time I try Process Assassin but haven't any hope it will work but who knows.
You can check this by typing this at the prompt:. Programs launched from that new command prompt will also run as that user. Now, from within process explorer, you should have access to kill more processes. In that case, a reboot is most likely the only resolution. AstroNerdBoy: That isn't true. You can kill processes in Vista if you have enough privileges to do so. It does work. Did you download and unzip pskill to the System32 folder…or did you download it somewhere else….
I was having the same problem reported by a couple of commenters where pskill was not killing a normal, non-system process that was hung.
Turned out that process had descended processes. Using "pskill -t pid" did the trick, killing the process and its descendants. Of course it's not going to work. So when your car has a flat tire, instead of fixing it, you blame the air pump for not working, because it won't pump up a tire with a hole in it.
You need to fix the problem with your computer that is causing VLC to hang. Stop blaming sites for giving you a utility that was not meant to fix application issues. Pskill only kills process, and as you stated, it did work — "i put it in system 32 etc and tested it on my problem program VLC media player and it killed it ". Sorry, I have to join the crowd and say this doesn't work. Well, it DOES work to kill normal processes and maybe some special cases, but not mine.
I have a green medalion for "Antispyware Soft" in the lower right process bar. Is there any way I can kill it. It seems to be reporting that all processes I try to run are infected? Cannot get cmd windoe to display or task manager windoe to dasplay. I am dead in the water. Just when you thought people couldn't get any dumber with their computing habits, a whole flock of people reading an article prove me wrong.
So why don't you people just start installing firefox and everything else into the Windows folder? Then you can run those from a command line too! So stupid…. Put pstools anywhere but in your Windows folder.
Go to advanced system settings, and under the advanced tab the last thing you'll see is an environment variables button. Click it. Now go to path, click the edit button, insert a semi-colon followed by the path to the directory where you put pstools for example:.
This is by far a much smarter practice than just dumping random garbage into your Windows folder. Since when is doing that ever been a great idea, despite what some guy says in an article on the internet? Thanks for the article. I am grateful for at least that much if it happens to work.
I just don't think you should be telling people to do very stupid things. First, it is not a good idea to put files into Windows system folders. Instead, group tools into other folders and add them to your path.
Mark Russinovich's Sysinternals Suite is an absolute must-have for all serious Windows users. Download it and unzip all the contents into a folder of your choice, then add that folder to your path. One of the utilities is pslist, I like this better than Windows task manager for finding the PIDs and other info:. If you know the name of the process you can grep for it.
You will need to put them in a folder and add them to your path. Now, trayapp is the system tray icon for an older, non-supported program from Novell called iFolder. This parameter is ignored for remote processes; all remote processes are forcefully terminated.
To end all processes on the remote computer "Srvmain" with an image name beginning with "note," while using the credentials for the user account Hiropln, type:.
