taskkill: Forcefully terminate a specified process.
$ taskkill /pid ${process_id} /f
try on your machine
The command "taskkill" is used to terminate or end a running process on a Windows operating system.
Here is an explanation of the individual components of the command:
- "taskkill": This is the command itself, which is used to kill or terminate a process.
- "/pid": This is an option or parameter that specifies the process ID (PID) of the process that you want to terminate.
- "${process_id}": This is a placeholder representing the actual process ID you need to provide. You should replace "${process_id}" with the specific PID of the process you want to terminate.
- "/f": This is another option or parameter that forces termination of the process without prompting for confirmation. It stands for "force".
So, when the full command "taskkill /pid ${process_id} /f" is executed, it will forcefully terminate the process with the specified process ID on the Windows system without any confirmation prompt.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
