node js process name on windows

I'm new to Node.js

I created a node js sample project on WebStorm11 using the "Node.js Express App" template. I added an html file and just opened it on browser and it worked.

My question is how I know what process on Windows is managing the requests to my application? I want to stop it through Task Manager.

Besides, I tried to stop the process by typing ctrl+c in command line and it didn't work. Any suggestions why?

Any help will be profoundly appreciated!

  • Seems you didn't run your Express application, did you? Opening HTML file in browser, well, just opens it on WebStorm default built-in webserver, it doesn't start your Express server.
