    If you know the name of a process to kill, for example notepad.exe, use the following command from a command prompt to end it

    taskkill /IM notepad.exe

    This will cause the program to terminate gracefully, asking for confirmation if there are unsaved changes. To forcefully kill the same process, add the /F option to the command line. Be careful with the /F option as it will terminate all matching processes without confirmation.
