Windows 10: How can I "Close" or "Exit" a task with a command script WITHOUT taskkill /f ?

How can I "Close" or "Exit" a task with a command script WITHOUT taskkill /f ? I want to close some tasks, but not force with taskkill. I want to close as if I went to "File" and clicked "Close" or clicked the "X" on the upper right corner of the task window. So task will ask to save data if needed and do close functions of the task vs stopping in the middle,

Here you go:

1. Put the following two lines into the file
   
   C:\Users\Fcis_M\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\Netlogon.bat
   
   @Echo off
   
   start /b "CPU Poll" wscript.exe C:\MyWinFormApp\PollCPU.vbs
   
2. Save the script file I posted before as
   
   C:\MyWinFormApp\PollCPU.vbs
   
3. To test it, double-click
   
   C:\MyWinFormApp\PollCPU.vbs
   
4. If you want to modify any of the parameters, e.g. the CPU loading limit, then you must do it like so:
   
   1. Run taskkill /f wscript.exe
   
   2. Modify & save the script
   
   Rerun C:\MyWinFormApp\PollCPU.vbs
   

The script will launch automatically at logon time. Further refinements are possible, e.g. building in a delay of 10 minutes after logon time.

Thank you for your reply.



ForTaskkill the example is
Taskkill /IM slack.exe /F

Notice it does NOT use the full disk path name which you seem to have appended. Only the process name.

Check you have working command by trying this from a command prompt manually.

Step by step, and always check the syntax carefully.

Doing things like this for the first time my take a number of attempts.

Now, did you notice I did not suggest you use this in a scheduled task? I suggested:
