Hello,
I want to close a software with taskkill by entering "taskkill /F /PID 10940" in a command prompt (opened as administrator) but I'm told:
Error: the process with PID 10940 could not be terminated.
Reason: access denied.
How can I force the task to close?
Thank you in advance

    Hello,

    Try launching the console as an administrator (you search for cmd or Command Prompt and right-click on it).

    Search and try: you will find the solution!
    Poke around and look everywhere: you will gain knowledge!!

      So it must be an unstoppable process... if you really want to stop it, try to look into the rights system inside Windows (the admin mode is not a true super-user).
