Is there a way to kill STS(Sprint Tool Suite) from Command Prompt?


I have been trying to close the STS instance open on my desktop. However, it's not getting closed and I can't use Task Manager since I can't see running apps on the Task Manager(seems to be a Windows 10 bug).

Previous to this, I had tried to import an existing maven project as well as create a new maven project on my opened STS. Both operations were unsuccessful.

Upon closing the running instance of STS, have been seeing the following window :

Spring Instance not closed

If someone could provide either a taskkill command or some other workaround, would appreciate much. TIA!


Solution

  • as long as you know the exe you can run: taskkill /F /IM name.exe

    Or you could find the exe name via tasklist
