taskkill

Taskkill is a command line tool in Windows that allows users to terminate or end running processes on their system. It is primarily used to forcefully close applications or processes that are unresponsive or causing system issues. The command is issued by typing "taskkill" followed by various parameters such as the process ID or image name. Users can specify specific processes to terminate or use wildcard characters to end multiple processes at once. Taskkill also offers several additional options, such as specifying if child processes should be closed, forcing termination without prompt, or logging off the user after terminating a process. This tool provides an efficient way to manage and control running processes directly from the command line, offering convenience for both power users and system administrators.
