Kill Processes using Command Prompt in Windows 7 | 8
If your Task Manager gets stuck or unresponsive due to intensive apps and you
are not able to kill the particular process. What do you do ? You press ctrl-alt-
delete to open up the Task Manager and find the culprit. But you can kill also
multiple processes using command prompt in Windows 7.
Kill Processes using Command Prompt in Windows 7 | 8
For this we use the Tasklist and Taskview commands.
Open the Command Prompt in the Administrative privileges mode and run the
Tasklist command, it will show you a list of all the running processes.
To views the processes, type Taskview and hit Enter.
To kill any particular process use the Taskkill command. For example to kill
Chrome, run the command as:
Taskkill /IM chrome.exe /F
where /F is used to kill the process forcefully. You can also kill any particular
process by using its ID, the tasklist command displays the process IDs as well
(you can see the PID column in the screenshot). To kill any process using its ID,
run the command as:
Taskkill /PID 2704 /F
Now to kill multiple processes simultaneously, run the above command with the
PIDs of all the processes followed by spaces
Taskkill /PID 2704 5472 4344 /F
That's it!

Taskkill is powerfull.
I just want to give a situation where taskkill is not right choice. If you have
multiple MMCs(dsa.msc, adsiedit.msc, and few other) running on PC and if you
want to kill only dsa.msc(Active Directory Users and Computers), then taskkill is
not your choice. The reason is it all MMC applications runs with same process
name mmc.exe(args are different).
If you are in such a situations, the below can help you.
Get-Process | where {$_.mainwindowtitle -match "active directory users and
computers"} | stop-process

Thank you, you just saved a lot of unsafed data.
One addition:
Miranda was not only locking the taskmanager and explorer but also the command
prompt.
Lucky as I am I'm using Launchy, which can also pass commands to cmd. :-)
"cmd [Tab] Taskkill /IM miranda32.exe /F" did the trick.
Thanks again!
