Kill a process Topic is solved

[Fefint]

So I'm trying to kill googleupdate.exe, but I'm not really sure why I can't seems ti kill it. This is what I have,

Code: Select all

if not A_IsAdmin{
	Run *RunAs "%A_ScriptFullPath%"
	ExitApp
}

Process Exist, GoogleUpdate.exe
PID := ErrorLevel
MsgBox 64, Row %A_LineNumber% -> %A_ScriptName%, PID = %PID%
Process, Close, GoogleUpdate.exe
Process, Close, %PID%
Process, Close, 4364
exitapp 

The PID is correct according to procexp64, and I can kill it in task manager. So I'm not sure why it dosn't work.

I've never used Process before, so I can't tell you why it isn't working. Have you tried using WinClose instead?

Code: Select all

WinClose, ahk_pid %PID%

Did not work.

in Windows-10 it exist a program taskkill.exe

Code: Select all

;- see taskkill help :
run,%comspec% /k taskkill /?
return

[Fefint]

run,%comspec% /k taskkill /F /IM GoogleUpdate.exe && exit
return

Killed the Process.

Code: Select all

if (!A_IsAdmin)
{
    MsgBox "You must run the script as Administrator."
    ExitApp
} I := 0
DllCall("Ntdll.dll\RtlAdjustPrivilege", "UInt", 20, "UChar", TRUE, "UChar", FALSE, "UPtrP", I)
