2I don't think you can do this with Stop-Process : Stop-Process just kills the process. – bluuf Mar 08 '19 at 10:42

But cmd's taskkill do this correctly, I checked. – Sergio Mar 08 '19 at 10:43

1`taskkill` posts a [WM_QUIT](https://stackoverflow.com/a/32346660/52598) message. `Stop-Process` is like `taskkill /f` – Lieven Keersmaekers Mar 08 '19 at 11:10

6You could use something like this `Get-Process applictin_name | Foreach-Object { $_.CloseMainWindow() | Out-Null }` – Lieven Keersmaekers Mar 08 '19 at 11:13

It's just a shame it doesn't work in combination with the if keyword.
$running = Get-Process prog -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
if (!$Running){
Get-Process virtualdj | Foreach-Object { $_.CloseMainWindow() | Out-Null }
}
