DescriptionThe On Windows Vista and later versions of the Windows operating system, to stop a process that is not owned by the current user, you must start PowerShell by using the Run as administrator option. Also, you are not prompted for confirmation unless you specify the Confirm parameter. ExamplesExample 1: Stop all instances of a process
This command stops all instances of the Notepad process on the computer. Each instance of Notepad runs in its own process. It uses the Name parameter to specify the processes, all of which have the same name. If you were to use the Id parameter to stop the same processes, you would have to list the process IDs of each instance of Notepad. Example 2: Stop a specific instance of a process
This command stops a particular instance of the Notepad process. It uses the process ID, 3952, to identify the process. The Confirm parameter directs PowerShell to prompt you before it stops the process. Because the prompt includes the process name in addition to its ID, this is best practice. The PassThru parameter passes the process object to the formatter for display. Without this parameter, there would be no display after
