I need to kill a task fron UiPath but I know how I con do that

the best way will be without open the cmd console but if Someone knows how can I do that I don mind if the console is opened or not.

Hi @Lucky0906, there is an activity called “kill process” where you can mention the process name to kill it. Example if you wanna close all browsed page from internet explorer just give “iexplore” in process name
