Kill a Process from the Windows Command Line
To terminate a process from the command line of windows, use the taskkill command:
When you know the name of the image to stop:
taskkill /IM notepad.exe
Or when you know the process ID, eg 784:
taskkill /PID 784
For more usage variants, type taskkill /?
NB: some of this information about what processes are running can be obtained by the tasklist command.
