Explanation

taskkill is a Windows command-line tool used to terminate one or more running processes by name or process ID (PID). It targets only the specified application, leaving the rest of the system running. shutdown powers off or restarts the entire system. chkdsk scans and repairs disk errors. tasklist displays currently running processes but does not stop them. Only taskkill surgically closes the unresponsive application.
