Samuel O.Jun 20, 2026D is your answer. Terminate Processes lets the helpdesk team kill just that one hung application process without touching the user session or anything else running in it, which is exactly what you need when a bad hotfix crashes a specific app and you want to leave the rest of the user's work intact.
Mei-Ling H.May 20, 2026"Terminate Processes" targets the specific crashed process, not the whole session, so D.
Ingrid P.May 20, 2026That is accurate for most scenarios, but worth drilling a separate card for what happens when the crashed process holds a shared resource like a named pipe or a COM port, because the answer in those edge cases can shift toward restarting the whole session.
Carlos M.Jun 4, 2026D is right. Why would LogOff or Disconnect risk other apps but Terminate Processes doesn't?
Samuel O.Jun 6, 2026Terminate Processes is scoped to that session only, but the real reason Logoff and Disconnect get flagged is that they yank shared resources mid-flight and can corrupt state for other users on the same box.
Ingrid P.Jun 11, 2026"Reset Sessions" tempts here but nukes the whole session, D is the surgical pick.
