So how do you kill the Skype process?

Question

Microsoft

Similar questions have already surfaced on the toaster, but I have not found a concrete answer.
After Skype was automatically updated to version 7 (Win7 OS), I encountered the following problem:
The Skype.exe process is not killed in any way either through the standard task manager, or through the command line, or through any other utility like AnVir Task Manager , Process Explorer, etc.
Now, in order to restart Skype, you have to reboot the computer .. it's already specific.
Googling showed that this problem arose a long time ago, but none of the recipes helped me. Does anyone have fresh ideas?

Answer 1

Troubles with Windows? — Reboot.
Troubles with Linux? — Be root

The solution is obvious: stop using Skype

Surfed nadys - my problem.
From the latter - turn off the UPnP option. While I'm testing. It's the same for bittorrent.

Answer 4

Remove stingy.exe from the autosave and reboot. I would try

Answer 5

Start -> cmd (as administrator)
tasklist
find the victim, and then kill
tskill skype

Either via PowerShell:
Get-Process
find the victim, and then kill
Get-Process Name skype* | Stop-Process
with the command above, we kill not only Skype, but also all its descendants, or what he gave birth to there
