Windows 10: How/in what order does Windows 10 Task Scheduler shutdown a process

I am running windows 10 and have a Task Scheduler Task that runs a python script. It begins on computer startup, runs for a set amount of time in this case 30 minutes then the task tells the program to end. Typically I would not tell the task to end the python script but I am testing the python script to see what happens if it were to hang/have a run time error after 30 minutes.Now, this python script has a call inside of it to run another .exe that is sensitive to loosing internet connection/power. My question is, how exactly does the windows task scheduler tell the python script to end? Do
