have a look here:

KillAllProcesses give me an exception

@Chand we encountered similar issues and after an RnD we worked out apattern close to your scenario: Set up a String List with the process names that get to kill. This can be done also with values from the config [grafik] here we go with OUTLOOK, EXCEL, iexplore then try to retrieve for each process name the process as long all are killed: [grafik] for each is iterating over process name to kill list while is killing the particular process so often till no one longer is existing We did…

How to kill process for specific (current) user

@Sajid_Masood with myPID = Process.GetCurrentProcess.SessionID you will get a marker of current user getting the processes by name currentProcessByName = Process.GetProcessByName(YourProcessName) filtering to current user: UserProcess = currentProcessByName.Where(Function (x) x.SessionId=myPID ).toArray for a defensive kill have a look here and just combine both approaches:

getting the PID/TID for the window and matching it to a process / thread was not reliable enough. So we defined the best practice of killing all Processes.
