Editing Kill (command) (section)

====Examples====
Find all processes beginning with the letter "p" that were developed by Microsoft and use more than 10 MB of memory and kill them:

<syntaxhighlight lang="ps1con">
PS C:\> ps p* | where { $_.Company -like "Microsoft*" -and $_.WorkingSet -gt 10MB } | kill -confirm

Confirm
Are you sure you want to perform this action?
Performing operation "Stop-Process" on Target "powershell (6832)".
[Y] Yes  [A] Yes to All  [N] No  [L] No to All  [S] Suspend  [?] Help (default is "Y"): A
PS C:\>
</syntaxhighlight>

Here is a simpler example, which asks the process [[Windows Explorer|Explorer.exe]] to terminate:
<syntaxhighlight lang="ps1con">PS C:\> taskkill /im explorer.exe</syntaxhighlight>
This example forces the process to terminate:
<syntaxhighlight lang="ps1con">PS C:\> taskkill /f /im explorer.exe</syntaxhighlight>
Processes can also be killed by their [[Process identifier|PID number]]:
<syntaxhighlight lang="ps1con">PS C:\> taskkill /pid 3476</syntaxhighlight>
