Short description
Stops one or more running processes.

Syntax


Description
The Stop-Process cmdlet stops one or more running processes. You can specify a process by process name or process I
D (PID), or pass a process object to Stop-Process.  Stop-Process works only on processes running on the local compu
ter.

On Windows Vista and later versions of Windows, to stop a process that is not owned by the current user, you must s
tart Windows PowerShell with the "Run as administrator" option.  Also, you are prompted for confirmation unless you
 use the Force parameter.
