If you’re an admin and manually checking logs for details and opening each file one by one. Then opening multiple instances of notepad is quite an everyday task.
Or you just love notepad in making notes, documentations or
other endless reasons to use notepad. Then it will be a headache in closing all
the notepad instances that were opened.
However, PowerShell can be used to close all instances of
notepad all at once. No sweat in clicking each file one by one. PowerShell can
handle it in one click of a button if you open the file via PowerShell ISE.
Here’s a simple PowerShell code
snippet to close all files in one shot.
#==========
$x=(Get-Process | Where-Object { $_.ProcessName
-EQ 'Notepad' }).count
1..$x | % { stop-process -name notepad –force }
#===========
Yes, 2 lines of code can save you
a lot of time.
The above code can be used also
to close other processes that has multiple instances open on the system.
If unsure of what is the name of the
exe process that is open on the system. This PowerShell code below will list all the
Process Name currently running and open in a Windows system.
Get-WmiObject -class win32_process -ComputerName . | select processname
For example, if you need to close
multiple instances of Edge browser then just replace notepad with msedge and
all instances of MS Edge will be close, don’t test this if you have open tabs
that you don’t want to close.
#==========
$x=(Get-Process | Where-Object { $_.ProcessName
-EQ 'msedge' }).count
1..$x | % { stop-process -name notepad –force }
#===========
Till next time. Stay safe! and keep things up!
Do ASAP, Always Say A Prayer...
