I have a Qt based updater application that needs to replace a running process with the new file. On Windows, the updater is failing when the process is running.

Is there a way that I can find a process by name e.g, Firefox.exe and kill it using Qt?

    There’s no API to do this in Qt, which means the only way to do it is using platform specific code.
