When dealing with an “unkillable” process, it can be extremely frustrating to try to figure out how to get rid of it. There can be a number of reasons why a process may be unkillable, and it is important to understand the cause before attempting to terminate the process.
One of the most common reasons for an unkillable process is that the process is running as a system service, and is thus protected from termination. In this case, the process must be stopped from within Windows services. To do this, open the Run command, type “services.msc”, and press Enter. From there, you can locate the process in the list and stop it.
Another possible cause of an unkillable process is that the process is running as a system process and is thus protected by the operating system. In this case, the process must be terminated through the Task Manager. To do this, open the Run command, type “taskmgr.exe” and press Enter. From there, you can locate the process in the list and end it.
It is also possible that the process is running as a user process, but is protected by the system administrator. In this case, the process must be terminated using the “Run As Administrator” option. To do this, open the Run command, type “runas /user:administrator cmd” and press Enter. From there, you can locate the process in the list and stop it.
Finally, if the process is still unkillable, then it is likely that the process is stuck in an infinite loop or has become stuck in a deadlock. In this case, the only way to terminate the process is to restart the computer.
In summary, it is important to understand the cause of an unkillable process before attempting to terminate it. If the process is running as a system service, it can be stopped from within Windows services. If the process is running as a system process, it can be terminated through the Task Manager. If the process is running as a user process, it can be terminated using the “Run As Administrator” option. Finally, if the process is still unkillable, the only way to terminate it is to restart the computer.
