Hi,
I am trying to use the native Blue Prism object Utility-Environment Kill process. to kill an opened IE application but it is not working.
The name of the process as parameter is "iexplore" .

When I ran the process, Blue Prism is not killing any IE window at all.
But I am able to terminate any process using the task manager, so I dont know if this is a problem related to the users rights.
Do you have any Ideas on why this is happening?

Thanks for your help.
Andres.

Hi,
Facing the same issue, Kill Process is not working for both IE application and SAP application. Able to end task from task manager but not from BP.
Can someone tell what could be the reason behind this?

Hello,

The possible problem in some situations is that the Kill command requires administrator permissions to kill the process.
The kill process command in the Kill process action is surrounded by try-catch and hence that will not throw you any exceptions, if you remove that exception handling in the code stage, then you might come to know the exact issue why it's failing to kill.
