I have a process that when I kill it (using process explorer), it just comes back after about 30 seconds.
Is there any way to find out which process is restarting the process I am killing (so I can kill that one too)?

Did you manage to find a solution for this?– CharlieDec 14, 2023 at 14:11

1@Charlie - Alas, this question was asked and answered well over a decade ago, and I am not sure. I would recommend playing around with Process Explorer (by SysInternals) to find a solution. I marked that answer as the solution, so I probably found something there and forgot to come back and put in the details. (You may be better off re-asking the question.)– VaccanoDec 26, 2023 at 6:11

In Process Explorer right click on that process, then Properties, the Image, and the Parent field shows that

That just says Services.exe. The app that keeps getting restarted is not a Microsoft app (and Services.exe is). I don't really know what Services.exe does, but I am leery of just killing it.– VaccanoDec 6, 2011 at 17:26

1No, don't kill that one. It seems that program is set as a service, check the active services in your Windows system. I think Process Explorer also says which service a process belongs to.– golimarDec 6, 2011 at 17:43
