You clearly didn't read my message...I said a "window close message." I.e...WM_CLOSE. that is not a process signal, it's a window management signal. Hence taskkill not working without /f on headless processes

    ...right...tell that to cmd.exe or the OpenVPN daemon, or the soft ether VPN daemon, or OpenConsole.exe, or Idk, I only tested 4 that immediately came to mind but my point stands. There are a lot of programs that do not have a window handle and do not bother with window messages.
