Kill Process Without Restarting Computer
« on: January 29, 2011, 11:37:56 PM »
OK we've all been there. There is a process that will not go away even using the Task Manager. Here is how to kill it once and for all.

 To use PsKill to kill hang process, follow below instructions:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896683

1. Download PsKill utility.

2. Unzip the package and copy pskill.exe to C:\WINDOWS\system32.

3. Right click on taskbar then select Task Manager. Go to Processes tab and look for the hang process PID. If PID column doesn’t not exist, go to View -> Select Columns, tick PID (Process Identifier). Write down the PID value.

4. Open command prompt by going to Start -> Run, then type cmd and press enter.

5. Type pskill, space and followed by the PID value. For example, if the PID is 9596, then type pskill 9596 and press enter. The process will be terminated without affecting other running processes.
