Now when you kill a process tree then every process running or started by that process will be killed kill process tree: App (killed) --app proc2 (killed) --app proc3 (killed) Or kill process App (killed) -- app proc2 (running) -- app proc3 (running) When you kill a process you only kill that process (or application).
Now when you kill a process tree then every process running or started by that process will be killed

kill process tree:
App (killed)
–app proc2 (killed)
–app proc3 (killed)

Or kill process
App (killed)
– app proc2 (running)
– app proc3 (running)

It gives a little more information laid out in an easier to read manner. It still doesn't solve any serious problems. Yes, it can end a process, but usually my problems are more serious involving one of Windows modules. Killing one of these usually brings other things down and before you know it you need to reboot. Now, here is a question I bet most do not know the answer to. What is the difference between "end process" and "end process tree". I have tried both and cannot tell the difference.
