How to identify a program instance in Task Manager?

If I'm running multiple instances of the same program, is there a way to identify which instance listed in Task Manager coincides with which tab I have the program running?

See screenshot below.

I'm running 3 instances of Autodesk Inventor. If one becomes unresponsive and I wish to kill that instance of the program, I need to be able to identify which one to select to 'End Task' in Task manager. I don't wish to play Russian Roulette because I want to keep the other running instances. With Inventor, the End Task from within Task Manager is often the only means of ending the process.

Hi Igor,

Thank you for your response. I wasn't sure if you meant right-clicking on the instance from within Task Manager, or the program's Windows tab. But in either case, no, there was nothing like that available.

Hi Bill,

My name is Igor, it's a pleasure for me to help others and I'll try to help you.

When you right-click on the app's instance, do you see option to foreground this process or to minimize it? This will help to identify needed instance.
