what is shortcut command to kill process in windows command?

Problem :

I have a process in windows command which cannot be killed. I tried taskkill and all the shortcuts in this postLinuxlike Ctrl-C (KeyboardInterrupt) for the Windows cmd line?

It refuses to die, even Windows task manager doesn't work to kill the command prompt. This program is resistant.

Ctrl + C should stop a program running from the command prompt, similar to linux.

If that doesn't work try to force kill a process from the command prompt, using the following command:

taskkill /F /IM process.exe

/F will force termination of the process, /IM means you're going to provide the running executable that you want to end, thus process.exe is the process to end.

tried using alt + F4?

I was in a similar situation where exit() and Ctrl+Z were the commands used to escape.

Typically entering exit (or logout) will provide you with assisting information, in my case I had the following output:

Use exit() or Ctrl-Z plus Return to exit
