• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.

Every now and again Virtual Grand Piano refuses to close and locks up. But I can't force kill it in task manager. There's some cli program that does a similar job, but it doesn't work either.

I'm wondering if anyone knows any magic that can force kill a stubborn process?
 
If you want CLI, you can use PSKILL. If you want a gui, then Process Explorer will do it.

I've had some processes that I couldn't kill with either of these and it took a restart to get rid of them. I use these tools daily and swear by them. Well worth adding to your toolkit.
 
Screw all of that press WIN KEY + R type taskkill /im ABC* /f and that will kill all processes that have ABC and * anything after the C.

so taskkill /im process* /f forces all processes with word process in it.
