/pid   ProcessID   : Specifies the process ID of the process to be terminated.

/im   ImageName   : Specifies the image name of the process to be terminated. Use the wildcard (*) to specify all image names.

/f   : Specifies that process(es) be forcefully terminated. This parameter is ignored for remote processes; all remote processes are forcefully terminated.

/t   : Specifies to terminate all child processes along with the parent process, commonly known as a tree kill.

/? : Displays help at the command prompt.

Remarks

  • The wildcard character (*) is accepted only when specified along with the filters.

  • Termination for remote processes will always be done forcefully regardless of whether the /f parameter is specified.

  • Supplying a computer name to the HOSTNAME filter will cause a shutdown and all processes will be stopped.

  • Use tasklist to determine the Process ID (PID) for the process to be terminated.

  • Taskkill is a replacement for the Kill tool.
