CloseMany

CloseMany is a feather-light and portable application that facilitates a user-friendly interface for terminating multiple processes or services at the same time, if they're no longer responding to commands. It features a bunch of approachable options that even less experienced users can tinker with.

The entire program's packed in a single executable file that can be saved anywhere on the disk or copied to a removable storage unit, in order to seamlessly launch it on any computer without setup. It doesn't need DLLs or other components to work properly, create files on the disk without your permission, or add new entries to the system registry.

As far as the interface is concerned, CloseMany adopts a large window with a simple design and layout, showing all options put at your disposal. It autodetects currently running processes and services at startup, showing them in a list.

You can check out the name, title, description, internal name, company, process ID, command line and full path of each entry in the list, in addition to dependencies, states and type of services.

One or more processes or services can be selected to stop or restart at the same time. Moreover, you can refresh or switch to processes, as well as set the service status to automatic, on demand, or disabled.

It worked smoothly in our evaluation, without triggering the operating system to hang, crash or indicate errors. System resources consumption was minimal, since it needed a low amount of CPU and RAM to work properly.

On the other hand, the utility failed to compile some information about processes. We are also keeping in mind that it hasn't received updates for a long time and likely has compatibility issues with later Windows versions. Otherwise, CloseMany offers a straightforward and effective method for killing multiple active processes and services simultaneously.
