ProcessKiller for Command Palette1.2.0

From Command Palette, you can select a running process and terminate it without switching to a separate process-management window. ProcessKiller for Command Palette turns that action into a quick command-driven workflow for stopping applications or background tasks that have become unresponsive.

The extension presents a filtered list of system processes, shows each process’s command line, and loads process icons to make entries easier to distinguish. Its icon cache persists between invocations, while command lines are read directly from the process rather than through wmic. It suits Windows users who regularly manage stuck programs, inspect active processes, or need a fast way to end a task while working from the keyboard.

Version 1.2.0 improves memory handling through a dispose pattern and extends the filtered system-process list. It also moves the extension to .NET 10 and updates its dependencies, alongside the direct command-line retrieval and parallel icon loading introduced in this release.

Published by 8LWXpg, ProcessKiller for Command Palette is open-source software for Windows on x64 architecture. It is used as a Command Palette extension, so its process-control workflow is accessed through that companion environment.
