I tried the apps on this site but it doesn't work as it says.
For instance, I have 50 Chrome.exe processes. I don't want to tick them 1 by 1 to kill it. As long as it's named Chrome.exe, I want to kill them all.
How can I do it in 1 swop?
6 Ways to Kill Multiple Windows Processes at Once • Raymond.CC
Doesn't option 6 from that site work? For eg. if you enter this at the command prompt or enter it in a batch file ?
TaskKill /IM Chrome.exe /T /F
(Just in case you haven't tried it; at a command prompt enter TaskKill /? to see what the parameters do).
I forgot to mention that I use this when there's an error in an app that will cause it to launch hundreds of times and tries to hang the system too. I wonder is there a way to activate the cmd while the system keeps launching the app?
You could set up a simple batch file which loops the Taskkill command as in the following example, which loops it every second (you can change the interval by changing the value after the timeout /T command).
Although this or other methods of killing multiple instances of a non-behaving program can work, it would be more appropriate to try and track down the root cause of the problem. Perhaps, if you posted with more 'details' in the "Browsers and Email" sub-forum, you may be able to get the appropriate help.Code::DoAgain TaskKill /IM Chrome.exe /T /F timeout /t 1 GOTO :DoAgain
