How to remove tasks on a computer with Windows 10

Method 1: "Task Manager"

It is easier and faster to remove this or that task functioning within the framework of Windows Windows 10, by referring to the "Task Manager" ("DZ").

1. In any convenient way, run the "Dispatcher", for example, through the corresponding context menu item called on the taskbar, or using the CTRL + SHIFT + ESC key combination.

   

   Method 2: "Command Line"

   Another possible option for removing the task in Windows 10 is the use of the system snap "Command Line".

   1. Run the "Command Line" on behalf of the administrator. This can be done through the menu called by pressing the PCM on the Start button or entering the name of the software component into the search and selecting the corresponding item in the results.

      

      Method 3: "PowerShell"

      In Windows 10, there is a more functionally advanced analogue to the usual users of previous versions of this Console OS, and it can also be used to stop the software processes.

      1. Open "PowerShell" on behalf of the administrator. The easiest way to do this with the search.

      

      2. Enter the query below and click "ENTER".

         Get-Process.

      

      3. In the table generated as a result of the command, find the task that needs to be completed. Focus here, as in the previous case, follows one of two parameters - "ID" or "ProcessName", which will be necessary to remember or write.

      

      4. Next, enter and execute any of the following commands:

         STOP-PROCESS -NAME "PROSESSNAME" -FORCE

         

         Stop-Process -ID ID -Force

         

         ProcessName is the corresponding value in the table, indicated in quotes. ID (second parameter, after -ID) - the process number.

      5. As soon as you press the Enter key, the specified task will be removed.

      

      It is worth noting that in "PowerShell", unlike the "command line", it is not displayed in any way, it will simply be possible to enter the following command.

      Method 4: third-party software

      In addition to the system tools discussed above, you can use third-party software to stop working processes in the "dozen", and the officially recommended by the creators of the operating system, Microsoft.

      Download Process Explorer from Microsoft

      1. Use the following link to go to the download page and click on the Download Process Explorer.

         

         Depending on the settings of the browser used and, if necessary, in the system "Explorer" window that opens, specify the place to save the installation file and use the Save button to confirm.

      

      2. Go to the folder with the downloaded archive and unpack it by calling the context menu and selecting the appropriate item,

         

         And then confirming the extraction in a separate window.

      

      3. Run the executable application file, taking into account the discharge of the operating system for which it is intended. "PROCEXP" - for 32 bits, "PROCEXP64" - 64.

      

      4. If you wish, read the terms of the license agreement and click on the "Agree" button.

      

      5. In the main window, the Process Explorer running will be shown all the current processes at the moment, just as it looks like in the system "Task Manager".

         

         To quickly find the work of which you want to stop, arrange a list by one of the parameters - the name or the load provided to this or that hardware component of the PC. Then, if necessary, scroll down the table down.

      

      6. By pressing the left mouse button (LCM), select the task you want to remove and, then, or call the context menu and select the "Kill Process" item in it, or use the "DEL" key or the stopping button on the top panel.

      

      7. Confirm your solution by clicking "OK" in a pop-up window with a question.

      

      Process Explorer Although it seems less attractive and easy to use than "Task Manager", in many cases is a more efficient solution, as it allows you to stop even those processes that are not displayed or cannot be stopped by system means. This program also provides detailed information on OS workload, and one more advantage is portability.
