-UiPath MVP-

With high-density server environments, this shared workflow can be used as part of the ReFramework or other frameworks to kill any open processes or applications that could potentially interrupt a job from running successfully.

_This component will essentially only kill processes under_ **_the active user logon session_**_._

Additionally, this component can be published as a job to run daily or adhoc to ensure environments are kept tidy.

If explorer is killed, the component is coded to start explorer again until the taskbar is found

**Arguments**

*   Processes\_Filepath =&gt; location of processes to be killed if Process\_KillList is empty
*   Process\_ExcludeList =&gt; if desired, processes can be excluded from the kill list
*   Process\_KillList =&gt; choice to list processes to be killed instead of using a text file

If a Process Name is not known, a list of all available processes will be listed in the Output panel from within Studio. An example text file of process names will be provided with component upload and also in the screenshots.

Note: Some applications, such as Mainframe terminals, may require some soft kill actions in order to exit certain screens before a hard kill is performed; this should be considered prior to running this hard kill component, so systems are not locked up.
