LaurentG It prints two success messages in my case, but the process is still there. What the hell? It that case I would recomend first to understand what loop is the process in. Then, if that loop is network exchange with other endpoint, then just unplug network cable or disconnect the already established connection. I get a There is no running instance of the task That process really does not want to die!

This worked for me In the case that I had it was a process that was created procedurally by another application while the system was low on resources. Process Explorer, kill process tree, and several other things failed to work, but this did the trick.
Didn't work for me, gave me an error unable to kill process etc etc — rboy. I know its old, but just in case someone else sees this do what I did. Open powershell as Administrator and then run it.
At first I ran it not as admin and it told me I couldn't do it. So then I ran it as admin and it worked. This worked for me on Windows 10 with a misbehaving Windows service. No luck for me even after waiting for more than mins. This doesn't seem to work for me. It says it's successful, but the process still shows up.

I realized the only thing that changed in my machine before the issue become apparent was the updates, so I checked which was my last update and read the release notes. It seemed suspicious and I rolled back to see if the issue was solved, which it was. Then I read on some Apache forums, don't remember which, that this update has caused trouble for them too.
I tried killing and restarting explorer. Zig Zig 61 1 1 silver badge 2 2 bronze badges. This worked for me, when none of the others did. Thx :D — jk Didn't work for me. Got End Process failed for Access is denied. Happening the same for me. What I cannot understand, is why? If someone could answer? Seems there is no tskill in Windows 10 — robertspierre.

Just so there are no worries about me trying to create an evil program, I am creating a program that runs a program called Winaudit on all of our domain computers. This is for inventory control and requires correct domain privileges to run. I use psexec to run the program on each computer. If you are going to go that route then I would just copy them to the same folder as your application assembly executable.
Were you able to successfully run psexec from a command prompt outside of the Visual Basic environment? Also, from what I see in examples when using the Process Class, the executable and command line arguments are separated. See the below link:. Yes, I can run it from outside the VB environment with no problems. I also copied the program over to another computer and I was able to run it from there, so it may be a problem with my computer.
My computer is Win7 64bit. The computer it worked on was WinXP 32bit. I found that if I move the files I need to work with into my debug folder, then it will work fine on my machine. I am guessing I need to move them to a resource folder or something and find a way to include them in my project so they will be included when I publish it. Do I just need to make a new folder called resources, drop the files I want into it, then do an Add reference and point to the exe files?
