This activity will kill processes for logged in users and plays a vital role when running Bots in High Density Environment on Servers or standalone systems.

1) It will get the current user name for logged in session.

2) No need to input your user name, it will automatically pick it from the current session ID.

3) Sets the process name as mentioned in the input Argument of the activities.

4) It gets all running Sessions for the process and hard kill all the corresponding process sessions for the logged in user, while keeping processes alive for other user sessions on the same server.

This activity will work exactly like the default Kill Process activity available in UiPath but it will only kill the process for the current user where the Bot is executing

I used it for clear process SAP, excel, outlook on my HD Robot.

We were founded in 2005 in a tiny apartment in Bucharest, Romania as DeskOver.

Fittingly, it was a customer who, in 2012, first saw the immense possibilities for us in the fledgling RPA market. Our desktop automation product launched in 2013. In 2015, we introduced our enterprise platform along with our new name.

Today, UiPath is the fastest-growing enterprise software company in history with scores of offices, thousands of employees, partnerships with the world’s best consulting and BPO firms, a 500,000-strong developer community, and 5MM+ robots at work in over 5,000 global enterprises.

Our mission is to deliver the leading Robotic Process Automation platform to our clients for an automation first mindset.

We build software robots that automate repetitive processes. Our software robots take on the tedious, mind-numbing work and free people to do the more stimulating, creative work worth doing.

But no matter how much we’ve grown, one thing hasn’t changed. We’re still building a company we love to work for

This package contains one activity which will be helpful to kill the process for a particular process. There is an use case where the same process is running in HD Robots environment. If one robot tries to kill a particular process then the existing activity will kill all the running processes with the same name. This activity will take the process name and the user name as a parameter and kills only the process which is associated with the given user.

Kill process activity can close the process for a specific user

Technical Account Manager

Can't kill the process ,process name "iexplore", user name "s41586" , can know why ?

Sometimes it worked killing chrome, and sometimes don't, do you know why this happens?

=> [Info] 55_Blackline JE Upload Support execution started

=> [Info] Process Name: chrome, User Name: US\RTREVINO1

=> [Error] Kill Chrome process user wise: Exception occurred during the killing process.

Just what I was looking for! - I was just running into this issue expanding into HD robots. This works perfectly. One suggestion: I would be great if there was a "Current User" option to make it automatically select the account running the bot.


can't kill process - can't kill process, process name "iexplore", user name " s41586 " , can help ?


Sopra Steria Group SA (commonly referred to as Sopra Steria) is a European information technology consultancy established in September 2014 upon the merger of Sopra Group SA and Groupe Steria SCA (commonly referred to as Sopra and Steria, respectively). Technically, Sopra was the company to adopt the new name, retaining its legal personality.The primary business areas of the company include consulting services, systems integration and solutions, integration of ERP solutions, implementation of application solutions, as well as subcontracting solutions for providing technical support to users and application maintenance and outsourcing services and operation of professional processes.

In certain scenarios, when "Kill Processes" activity is used, it throws "Access is denied" error if it encounters a process running in a different logon session ( generally on servers with multiple users).

This snippet accesses the information of running processes and loops through the list of processes to check for the ones to be killed and started by the current logged in user. It kills the process when a match for aforementioned conditions is found. 

This snippet helps in killing the processes started by current logon session
